Before Mercedes wowed us with their Viano and V Class people mover there was already a king of the hill in this segment. Here in South Africa VW with its Caravelle Kombi ruled from the 80's all the way into the early 90's, first with their 2.1 Caravelle followed by the 2.5 Caravelle and finally with their show stopper the 2.6 Exclusive Caravelle. In this video we take a trip down memory lane as we review the 2.6 Caravelle kombi, the ultimate Volksi Bus.

It's amazing how the brain just floods with flashbacks. The T3 still feels so fresh so current so relevant and I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you for watching.

I came across a microbus 2.1 automatic. I loved that bus had to sell at some point. I would give anything to have it back, the only challenge was fuel consumption.

Hi Sandile thanks for watching...very few good examples of the T3 Kombi left but always keep your eyes out and one day you will see one. At times its even best to buy one that is in a fair condition and you sort it out to meet your expectations. Goodluck!

Hey Stu,, yip what a memory indeed. The moment I had this vehicle for a full day I knew I had to make a review because the Volksi Kombi a real South African darling. Remember the David Krammer adverts on this bus...I think that was his name.

These were on sales even much later than the early 90s, up to 2001 I think. The "kombies" from the 80s had smaller windows and 1 pair of lights in the front.

Yes the earlier vehicles had single headlight grills and as time went on the T3 underwent a few minor face lifts. I'm not sure to what year the T3 was sold but its still as relevant today as it was when it went out of production. Thanks for watching.

Bless you Brother! Greetings from America! Love the Vanagon!!!!!!! I had an '89 Wolfsburg Carat, Two '87 Syncros. We never got a VR6 Vanagon in America. Was that a VR6 in this video? I remember in the early 2000s, I saw on VW of South Africa's website that they were still producing the Vanagon there and they came with a VR6, ABS, and Airbags. Is this true? I've been looking to find some vintage brochures that you would have picked up at the VW Dealer's Showroom. I would absolutely love it if you had any leads on vintage late model T3s. Its my favorite car to cruise in on secondary roads..up to 45-50 mph LOL. Thanks for the memories.

Hey there Noah, greetings from South Africa. Wow you had a Wolfsburg edition that was so rare here. We had the Syncros many used to be on the roads in the time. As a matter of fact I forgot to put a clip of a Syncro I filmed on the sand dunes in Cape Town. As for the VR6 variant we got that motor in the T4 Caravelle, I see you refer to it as the Vanagon. That was the last petrol powered Caravelle before they went fully diesel in South Africa with the T5 Varient. I would have been delighted to keep an eye out for you for late model T3's for you to acquire. However the cars in South Africa are right hand drive and in the USA you are on the wrong side (jokes). If you want a right hand driven one i would be happy to assist, may take a while but we can find one for you. However I will start a podcast soon and there I can mention your interest in a left hand driven T3 and maybe it will gain traction...Thanks for watching, I am humbled.

Why's the Microbus a "lesser" version.. Because I know a Microbus 2.6i Exclusive & 2.6i Active.. Haven't seen it for the "special" caravelle.. Psshhh ya'll journalism 😂

VW started the trend with Caravelle as the top spec and the Microbus the lessor spec. Mercedes gave us the Viano and the Vito. The engines on the Caravelle and Microbus were the same it was just the fit and finishings which were scaled down on the Microbus but both were fun. In conclusion Caravelle came out fully loaded and had the exclusive as well which comprised really of the back facing captains chairs and the table.
