Doesn't seem like a complete VIN. The US models are all 17 letters and digits. Begins with 1HF which indicates manufacture in here in the states. I'm not sure if models intended for the UK market are the same. If the label isn't readable, the complete VIN is stamped on the right side of the steering neck.
GL1200L - fuel injected, first model year was 85
GL1200A - Aspencade, carburated, factory radio, digital dash, speedo readout.
GL1200I - Interstate, most easily distinguishable by needle/dial speedo and tach.
Usually, the emblem on the saddlebags (if still intact) indicated which model it was.
