Yes, that sounds right.

I have Mellow Yellow's evil twin in my driveway. Yellow 1984 Westy

Camper tag says P27 E 01021

Looking at the driver's door pillar sticker, when was yours built and what are the last 6 digits of your vin# ??

Mine says Made 9/83 but has vin 022,xxx. They must have really been cranking out T3 models to get that high so early in the model year.

Mine says "Type P27", and "E.04009".
