That VIN tag is in the trunk, left side looking at the windshield. After 1980, the international manufacturers agreed to a 17 digit code.

WP"0" this being a ZERO not an "O".....was the designation for the Porsche. Of course carfax will have two records using O ans 0 as interchangeable. Wankers.....%^b

I assume you meant the other info stamped on the plate.

Guessing on the "M" in the box above the VIN, I think it's a 911 "series" code. I know my 75 was a "G" car, and my 73 is an "E" but I don't know for certain.

Proceeding down from the VIN:

"Total weight"=1500kg
"Towing weight (draw weight)"=2300kg

Top of the right column:

"Heating type"=(some who don't know how to read a VIN confuse this with identification of a 911 S car)
"Front axle load"=650kg
"Rear axle load"=930
