Fiat transition to Bertone

[MarkB]

I noticed on the greek site - they have a list of promo material form the X - that the 1982 model was marketed as both a Fiat and a Bertone. This may be a goofy question, but has anyone ran across the last VIN produced by Fiat? My 82 has a production date that is very late in the year - September - i think - but branded as a Fiat rather than a Bertone.The list that i've seen have max an min VIN numbers for a model year, but i haven't seen one that states the diff in the 82's.
Just general interest. killing time before the holidays.

It´s easy. VIN with starting ZFA is made by FIAT and ZBB by Bertone. But the change over is not really clean. In my records one VIN of a FIAT is after VINs of 2 Bertones. It seems that the special model "IN" was made by FIAT and the 500 VS cars(a few called LTD) for the US market were made by Bertone..

Bertone VIN 149618 USA
Bertone VIN 149570 USA
BERTONE VIN 149037 CH
FIAT VIN 147817 NL - IN #163 of 500
BERTONE VIN 147512 USA - VS (ltd) #122 of 500
BERTONE VIN 147376 USA - VS #42 of 500
FIAT VIN 146314 USA
