Hi all - I emailed the classic center in LA area earlier this week and they responded today via email with the card and a translation, all I needed to do was give them the VIN. Here's the translation:

I am going to try an attach the image of the data card. What I know about the car is that it was Euro market, and apparently originally had manual transmission. It is now all signal red but apparently the top used to be white. From the engine number it appears it now has an engine from a 250c or ce (129-980-10-014426).
I am wondering if anyone could give me any more info from this card? For example, whether it had a radio or was "radio delete," etc? I am not familiar with these cards at all so any help would be appreciated.
