the Euro's were originally fitted with KPH gauges, then changed to MPH gauges for the US federalization.
the instrument cluster may not have been entirely changed out for English language lettering (idiot lights and such), so other than the speedo change the gauges would remain written in German.

does anyone know what info this sticker gives on an 1982 Euro S?
The vin #plateis located in back of the hood latch under the hood... I found the # under the passenger side fender and they match. I found a tag under the hood and it has a few #'s on it. Any1 know what they mean?
11R,12R,14R,17R,18R,0027,0013,0039,0018,0034
I'm guessing the car is pretty light being an 80 w/a 5 speed 3200# maybe? No power anything inside and it has a vinyl interior so that saves some weight over leather.
Thanks again for the help!

What do the other codes indicate?
I have a 78 Euro with a E1 / E2 sticker as well. Does anyone know what the other codes indicate? I notice mine has slightly different set of codes.

xxR codes are just more details which requlations car complies. This means other than just lights. For example:
R10 - electromagnetic compatibility
R11 - door latches and door retention components
R14 - safety-belt anchorages
Its basically list which tells according to what standards car has been tested and passed.
