Re: rear Spider badging

["Dean W. Cains" <dwc@domain.elided>]

Hi Group:

I'll concur with all that Tim says on badging.  I'm the second owner of my 
'74 Spider, and have had two '72's in the past (back when they weren't too 
far from new).  All 3 cars had (from left to right) the pinned 'Iniezione', 
the '2000' stuck on with double-sided black foam/tape, and the pinned 'Alfa 
Romeo' script.  Alfa did make a '2000' badge with pins, but that was only 
used on the GTV's.

Now if I could only find some 'Fuel Injection' door handles, just like on a 
Pontiac . . .
