Certificate of Origin?? - 20/01/2022 17:12
We have this request from the Press Fleet Manager of McLaren Automotive:
Please can you let me know if you can help out to obtain a certificate of origin for a Fiat 124 Spider from 1976
Can anyone enlighten him on how he might go about this?

One would have thought a conversation with Fiat might not be beyond the wit of man, or even a press fleet manager... or do McLaren preach internally that no other maker is worth speaking to?

You can get the FCA Heritage Centre in Turin to do this, for a price (€70)

Well I can always print out this thread and deliver it personally to the Press Fleet Manager at Woking (just to make sure the returned favour is a good one
)

I needed a CoC for my Coupe. Depending on where the car was manufactured depends on cost. It was free for me as the car was originally a UK car, otherwise it would have been 120 GBP.
I did this in June 2020 so the details should still be good.

Not sure if CoC will suffice, but sure these people can assist if not.
