    This took me back - my Dad had one of these back in the day - great car! Great memories! 😀

    My Dad had one of these and it was one of the first cars I drove, I remember the ride and especially the smooth smooth gear change.

    I had a 1972 for some years. The double-carb-engines could easily burn through back-fire....
    I broke down on the highway with a burnt ignition-switch - could get home by bypassing contact 30 with 15
    in the fuse-assembly. Later VW solved the problem with an so called x-relais so that the main current was
    going over the contacts of this relais instead through the ignition switch. The double-carb version was difficult
    to align, with all the ankle-joints that had dead-play. Therefore excess fuel-consumption of 12-13 ltr./100Km,
    this was an issue back in 1973 for a 54 hp engine. Another pain is the exhaust: it has 2 screws with 55mm diam.
    they were not easy accessible and of course got terribly corroded - you could easily spend a day to become them loose, not accessible to angle-grinder...but if all the issues were solved, it was runnig / steering / breaking great.
    These are my memories, maybe they help somebody....

    If only VW had thought of including the back window together with the boot lid, it would have been the world's first 2-door hatchback.

    The type 3 is so under-rated in the UK, the Americans are much more understanding.
    A type 3 Variant ( estate car) is in many senses the only car you need.

    Rather than fart about with the bumper, they should've just completed the bumpers as the manufacturer intended by attaching the rubber bumper strips.

    Pritchard would change the frame on DaVinci’s Mona Lisa and take credit for the artwork.
    This is the same guy who test drove a Citroen DS with the handbrake engaged and complained about how slow the car was.
    He’s got the mechanical aptitude of a chimpanzee but that’s ok. What isn’t ok is the way he attempts to come off as the chief mechanic for a Formula One team.
    I appreciate the way Paul handles himself but Pritchard is a pompous ass.
    Why he even purchased hubcaps for a Saab and it made ALL THE DIFFERENCE; just ask him and he’ll tell ya how he, once again, saved the day.

    Long ago I knew a joke , what I forgot : how is it , does anybody know it ? : The traffic warden stops the owner of a VW 1600 TL , and forces him to open up the cover of the Boot ( he is looking for something ) , but it turns out him , that the car doesn't have an engine , because he finds boots in te front and back...
    How was the joke ? i'm a joke collector from Hungary . Thank you... 🙂Ich spreche , übrigens Deutsch , aber nicht alle . Wie andere Leute von der ganzen Welt...
