Your car has the cruise control, so I'm down to 174 possible VINs.
Sunroof or not?
Right side mirror?

Cruise control ? not very sure if you check the picture with arrow under wiper switch is another switch written in german, looks like Cruise control ....but not 100% sure. you can push up and down and pull to driver direction .
regarding sunroof - for sure no
right side mirror didn't find them , but what i know is car had them and was glued. I will try to upload with some pictures, car i took as I said from one guy from scrapyard, i will try to make some ownership papers, but i buy it for parts, that was the only way legally in Romania to buy from him, and have some papers. What I can say, car was modified by Strosek and have a very nice tunning kit.
tomorrow for sure gearbox i will check for serial !

Your next step will be to contact Porsche AG or your local importer, with a proof that you are the owner of this particular car, and Porsche AG can certainly find the VIN of the car.
From this number and the engine number, M28/11 82D 0668, I think that your car was one of the 824 RoW manual 928 S of the 1983 model-year. 721 were LHD cars, like yours.
The gearbox number would also help. I suppose that it will start with G28/07. It is stamped just under the gearbox.

If you provide these three numbers (production number, engine and gearbox), Porsche must be capable to find the VIN and confirm if the engine and the engine's numbers match their records.

The original VIN must be something like WP0ZZZ92ZDS84???? .
you are the man!
Below is transmission box code!

This must be the original gearbox too as the D into the number indicates a 1983 MY.
Now, you must contact the Porsche importer of your country to find the VIN.
Good luck.

Very cool. I'm really glad that you were able to have this document.
What is your plan for the car, now that you know its real identity ?

This will be a nice car, once finished as it was delivered without front and rear spoilers, and with phone dial rims

Good work !
