Really great info on the SV's! Thanks!
This got me wondering if my old # 1493 06546 still exists. It was a great car, I was just young and stupid.

How do you contact the factory regarding production records for a certain chassis no.? I recently bought a driver-condition 1961 Sprint (Normale). I would like to know its original color and country of delivery if possible. I was told it spent most of its life in California, has LHD and english guages, but has a Euro license plate holder?? BTW, don't mean to hijack this thread ..will post some pictures of the restoration as it proceeds in a separate thread. P.S.- I have a zeroxed set of original factory homologation papers for a 1956 SV, complete with a spec sheet and chassis/engine #s and some representative photos if anyone wants to add to their registers? Cheers-
Phil

Then you can send them an e-mail from that site with the chassis number. Within 2 days you will get an e-mail back with all the information they have on the car. The head of the archives is Mr.Magro, who is VERY helpful..

The archive is now run by Marco Fazio, Mr Magro having left. Mr Fazio is also very helpful and efficient so direct your enquiry to him.

Phil, could you also be so kind as to scan these docs and send me a copy?

Many thanks

Paul

I would love to have a set of homologation papers. Can they be sent as PM? If so please can I have a copy. Thanks.

Just a passing comment. I have commissioned a run of the aluminium extrusion to make the side sliding window frames for a Lightweight. Anyone who needs insurance or material for frames from scatch...give me a call.

Lionel,

I have a 1961 Sprint Veloce with an ARE body number. I never got an explanation of why the body is marked ARE instead of AR. My father purchased the car in June, 1961 and was the second owner. The car was purchased by an American and delivered in Switzerland. It was brought over to the United States and sold as a used car in Santa Monica, California. It is a regular steel bodied left hand drive with US gauges and lens. The car was delivered with a European license holder and fender mounted rear view mirrors.

Lionel, I appreciate hearing the work I've done is appreciated. BTW, do you mind letting me know the Bertone number of your car? I'm working on a post about their numbers and your car is a significant point in the data. In 2 months I've managed to gather about 50!

Thanks!
