Title: 2000 Coupe - Pininfarina Crown Badge on the body?
Post by: michaelkaye on 16 January, 2019, 11:05:07 AM

Hi all,

I'm currently looking at a 2000 Coupe to purchase, 1973 model, and I've noticed it does not have the "Designer / Coachbuider Pininfarina Crown Badge" on either side of the car (normally positioned between door and rear wheel).

I'm told not all cars had them, but I cannot find out which models/years had them.

Does anyone know the definitive answer to this?

Thanks, Michael.

I broke 4  2000 models many years ago and they all had these badges.

Michael,
I have owned various Flavia/2000 Coupes for over 40 years and they all had the Pininfarina badge on the rear 3/4 panel, be they 815 or 820 Coupes, so yes that 1973 car should have the badges.

Have you removed one of the internal trim panels, or perhaps shone a torch down the cutout for the ashtray, to see if the mounting holes for the badges have been filled in during a previous paint job?
Brian.
P.S. My Flavia 2000 coupe has the badges that you refer to as have others that I have seen.
