Three posts and none make a bar of sense. Please go back through and edit your posts (or even delete unessecary posts) to make what you're saying clearer! Also wait a bit longer for some replies.

The VIN reads as follows.
W = Germany, Country of manufacture.
V = Volkswagen AG.
W = Passenger Car.
C = 2 door custom.
A = Engine Type, 1718cc or 1780cc 90hp.
O = Manual seatbelts. If it was a 5, you would have drivers side airbag.
15 = Model Type, Cabriolet.
1 = Not sure, I think it may mean Left or Right hand drive?
C = Model Year, 1982
K = Osnabruck, Germany. Assembly plant.
01259x is just the production number.
cheers michael , im sure it has been a left hand drive , and converted to a right hand now !
and finding a few dimes from the usa , must say it was there at some point too , and some california stickers on the qaurter windows ,,,,,,,,
The last few numbers don't mean anything, essentially that's Volkswagen individual ID for that car. Everything before that indicates things like manufacturer, assembly plant, model type and year of manufacture (as Michael has explained).
To find out about LHD etc you'll need to find an options listing if you can. I assume they had these on Mk1s(?), they're usually a series of 3 character codes that would indicate LHD and factory fitted options and other specs.
It won't look like this on your Mk1, of course, but here is a reference of what I am talking about from our Mk5's manual (a duplicate sticker is also viewable near the spare wheel well under the boot liner):
