Hi Dom
Thank you for sharing info about your Spider, really appreciated.
Regarding your questions, the Ricambi number is stambed on the chassisplate you have attached a picture of.
So the Ricambi Number on chassis AS1350000216 is: 181, so vehicle number 181 thru the Fiat Production line.
Regarding the engine number, so have you attached a picture of the cold air intake (choke) on the airfilter box with part number 4170005. 4170005 you will find pictured in chapter A2.05 in the parts catalog.
The engine number you will find stamped in the front of the engine block, just under the cylinder head gasket.
So if you slide you mobile phone down along the engine oil filter, and take a picture of the engine block front (Y
ou may have to clean the surface a little for oil residues 
) you shold find an engine number locking like this:
135B.000-0000XXX.
Would also be interresting to have a picture of the Pininfarina body number, this you can find on a metal tag attached to the spare wheel well, you will also find it stamped on the top of the windshield frame. According to my notes your car should have Pininfarina body number: 190193

Here's my contribution to this thread. 135AS0000454 Located in Albuquerque, New Mexico in my shop. Registered here since 1978.
Three of the images are Chassis, Ricambi, and engine numbers. One image is someones idea of simplifying the import process by using a Fiat 850 ID tag.
The engine number seem low compared to the other numbers. I suspect that it's a bitsa car. I don't have access to the Morris book and would appreciate any illuminating information.

Hi
Thanks for sharing info about your car, a pitty the chassis plate is gone, but that`s how it is with old cars.
Chassis number & Pininfarina number is matching, which actually is the most important.
The engine number is the earliest I have seen in my research so far.

Hi Everybody
I am really sorry for my very late reply, but My Fiat Dino coupe 2400 is still under restoration which is a nightmare to handle as it is really difficult to find food people.
My Dino has the number 6054 with a date of first release into circulation of 20/11/1973.
I am trying to find its original technical specification, paint, option, interior, etc… as I want it to be as per ex-factory technical specification. As if it was produced yesterday.
If you have any idea how to get its original spec, I will be glad to hear from you.
I will also need some spare parts since I miss some.
My car has not been on the road since 1984 and was repainted in black and white whereas green is its original color.
Thanks a lot for any feedback
Fred B

Hi Fred,
This might help with the colour if you already know that it was green:
https://dinouk.com/technical_colours.html
As far as I know these information has not been recorded. However, there were no much options to choose from. Colour, fabric or leather, a few had A/C. That's it as far as I know.
All the best for the progress on your car!
