TPA83 is not a VW VIN. Sounds more like something allocated to a recovered stolen car (remember the TPA?).
Didn't I answer this question in another thread?
Give us the numbers on the plate behind the driver's seat (if it's what I think it is) or give us the correct VIN as sramped in the engine compartment or on a plate somewhere in the cab.

That TPA number is NOT a VW VIN.
You have given us the info from the registration papers, which do not necessarily reflect what's on the car.
What is the VIN on the bus, and where is it? (Stamped in engine compartment or on plate in cab.)

TPA stands for TRANSVAAL PROVINCIAL ADMINISTRATION in other words, these were the old Police numbers when the car was a stolen and recovered car, or a reintroduction.

Chris/Guys, please have a look at the attached photo and let me know what all if it means.Give me the whole chassis no,and I'll look it up for you.
Thanx. M.

Aaah, a fellow Fleetline owner. 
I'm a little fuzzy today, so best you wait for Fig to dig out his book of M-codes.

Sorry, pulled a Merlin on myself 
Here is the plate on my bus: Please tell me what all the jargon means in Pretoria (Boerewors curtain side) Inglish!!!

Dit is 'n plakker vir die voorgestelde druk van die lug binne die bande van die voertuig.
Om rede dit 'n kommersiele voertuig is wat geskik is vir vervoer van beide vrag, en passasiers, sal jy opmerk dat die banddruk vir die voorste wiele ietwat minder is as agter.
Om rede die voertuig ook bestaan uit 'n konfigurasie waar die enjin agter die voertuig gemonteer is, behoort dit voor die hand liggend te wees dat die agterste bande as sulks meer gewig sal dra as die voorste bande.
Dit is verassend om te sien dat die vervaardiger van die voertuig juis spesifiseer dat die banddruk koud geneem moet word. As 'n mens in ag neem dat die voertuig terugdateer uit toeka se dae (heelwaarskynlik kort na die vorige Ystydperk, en ook so 17 verskynings van Halley se komeet terug), is dit onverstaanbaar dat hedendaagse voertuigbestuurders steeds hulle banddruk neem as die wiele warm is. Dit is egter maar eers in onlangse tye wat wetenskaplikes tot die ontdekking gekom het dat lug direk eweredig uitsit met 'n verhoging in temperatuur, 'n feit wat sedertdien as 'n 'natuurwet' herdoop is.
Dit is voor die hand liggend dat 'n lesing met warm lug, wesenlik sal verskil van 'n lesing met koue lug, uitgedruk as KiloPascal

You have a 1975 Fleetline 15-window Kombi, made in Brazil and assembled in SA. Yours is number 741 of about 5,000.
