This is a very early 1980 Euro S- I don't actually have any options info for it, as it was one of a few that was missing from the PET database. But I do have the following:
92A0820034
1980 Euro S
No engine code but should be either M28.11 or M28.12, engine serial # range 820 0001>1000 or engine serial # range 820 5001 >6000
Don't know whether it's 5-speed or auto
Invoice date 11/7/79
Paint code: J4 - Hellblau (Light blue) metallic
Production # 1200555
Interior code BR- Partial leather brown seats with leather seatbacks and brown/beige tartan inserts, and brown carpet
FWIW, it's possible that there _were_ no options given the tartan cloth seats and this is one of the 1980 'stripper' low/no option cars. I'd be interested to hear whether it has AC, 1 or two mirrors, sunroof, etc.

Thanks for the super quick reply! If I'm correct, this is #34 for 1980?
The car is a 5 speed. It does have A/C. 2 mirrors. Non sun roof car. Any other options I should check for?
Thanks again!

If it's a 5-speed, that early in the year it should have a G28.03 transmission. If you have a chance to look at the serial number on the rear bottom of the transaxle case, it would be cool if you can confirm. (And see if there's a '/12' as part of the serial number - if there is, then you have a limited slip transmission.)

That's a very helpful data point, thanks! That's the 15th of the G28.05 transmissions produced, and there are exactly 14 '80 Euro S 5-speeds prior to your VIN, so now I'm wondering whether all the '80 EUro Ss got the G28.05? As the scientists say, need more data.
