Model decoding from Haynes page 9:
Vehicle model code:

Position #:    1   2    3    4    5    6     7      8     9
Code:          K   H    L    G   Z31   J     A      T     U

Each position/character means something:
1. blank = standard roof; K = T-bar roof
2. H = VG30E engine
3. L = left hand drive
4. blank = 2 seater; G = 2+2 seater
5. model of car - Z31
6. blank = SF model; J = GL model; X = GL-L model
7. blank = manual trans; A = automatic trans
8. blank = non-turbo; T = turbo
9. N = Canada model; U = USA model; V = California model
So the car in the sample is: t-bar, vg30e, left-hand drive, 2+2, GL trim, auto trans, turbo, US model
