The body colour is red, with black skai interiors."
With only a 20 production number difference, they were manufactured 3 months apart (October to January). The factory must have taken a long Holiday or had a strike. I guess they are both 69's. Yours has the typical European trunk badging and no side marker lights, again a non-US mark.
Make sure you register yours on Willie's Duetto Register ( Link).
SO our cars are twins and I have Viking heritage though not Danish (Norwegian cousins). Both our ancestors did some damage nonetheless. I'll lift/hoist one tonight to your very nice car!

Hey Bruce
Have tough about the apparently supprising low speed of the produktionline.
Could it be so, that they changed the produktionline to european 1750 models or Juniors in november/december and turned back to US models, when the october shipment were sold out of Newark ?
According to Willie it seens, that the produced 1480001 - 1480490 US models in a row (500 planed ?) they are alle registrered as 1969's - that's a bit funny as my 1480303 is produced in october 1968 !! They must have been busy in the months before october producing the first 300 "69'ers".
And still according to Willie they made 11410112 - 1410991 european models in 1968 ! PLUS a bounch of Juniors, proparly made on the same produktionline
Hollydays in december - sure - but no, I don't they just made 20 Spiders in november/december 68 - it dosn't fit with a total of over 1200 1750's during 1968/69
Our ancestors making damage in past ??- that's not the way the danes look at it, we were just bringing back home the stuff we needed in Scandinavia, and we still operate that way, bringing Alfas "back home" to a better life here 
Yours
Jens Anton
