Alan, i've had an email from Centro Archivio Storico and they can only provide build date and model. A certificate would cost E70.00, or via email E30.00.
I think i'll leave it for now!
As I suspected really, it's sad that they kept no records and even sadder that they charge simply to give you a build date. Now we need someone who has a pre 78 car to try and see if they at least have build dates for those or not as I have nothing pre 78 and I'm not supposed to have what I already have either! Alan,just this past weekend I noticed an aluminium stamped plate pop-rivited to the front upper frame rail by the Australians [I presume]which clearly says BUILT DEC 1983 ! So the FCA heritage would have told me nothing I didn't know already! Best wishes, Nige I seem to be a month out! But I'm guessing if the plate was added in Australia that it took a month to get there! ?

This and the above plate,I believe, were fitted by the Aus importers.

I thought this 'resurrection-of old-post' worthy....
Having not seen it mentioned before, there is a paint code sticker on the left rear tower of my 83 HPE.

Nigel, I for one never knew this paint code was tucked away on the rear turret. And guess what I just found on the VX HPE I’m restoring?

Ian, In practice, it's not. All Lancia codes are 3 numbers, at least they appear to be. The code I found matches my cars' original Silver.
In this case, hmm.
Unless it was a special order from the factory....

Hi Guys..
Those stickers are interesting on the rear turrets, Nigel I'm quite certain your Silver is the same as mine, ( our cars are practically identical ) and I have this on the underside / nearside of my Boot lid. ( refer attached )
Best Andrew.

Yup Andrew [happy new year!]
Same code as mine. My hatch was replaced before my guardianship so no sticker.
Cheers, Nigel
