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.

When they were driving along all steamed up.... yep remember that in all my T3’s.... even ice on the inside of the windscreen.

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.

Wish we here in the states had such a gathering of type 3 buffs

You should start a work shop in Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺. 💙

Love your videos mate from Australia 🇦🇺 you can see them on the ch 9 network in Australia 🇦🇺. Big Fan. 🥃💙

Great looking car. Love the color. Front plate looks funny below the bumper with that wide open space above the bumper.

The commentator sounds like he’s smoked 200 JPS a day for the last 200 years

TR-6 Also had Michelin red lines. 🙂

Did we do any engine work, brakes, suspension, ball joints, shocks, CV joints, you know, those mechanical things, or did we just do cosmetic things????

Sprintster wheels great my only criticism is number plate on the body above the bumper

Amazing 👏

That red strip detail, effort and talent was really interesting

learned to drive in a texas yellow fastback same as that but the 1600e fuel injection

Changed the colour and put adaft red stripe on a tyre that had nothing to do with the car Fantastic

nice job on the car.but what happens after the show with the cars ?

They are called 'red lines'.

My mate Dave has a Type 3, it won best in show at Volksworld. He bought a share in the company that did the resto!

I really wish they had done the rear bumper too.

Same red strip on the bumper would help

I remember sleeping over the engine when I was a kid

We don't care about the shopping, we want to see the mechanics!

Not my personal choice of colour and wheels but they did a good job

Where are the 'White Lines' ???

Shame I sold my almost immaculate orange one for £650 in 1993....

I love his tattoos sailor jerry rules

I wish the american type 3 didn't have the front license plate bump.

Is the narrator from the witch?

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

Rims are odd. Should’ve went with Empi. California style😎

Wonder if anyone made a very large profit out of Drew for a change.

Even he thought it was shit , you can tell by the pause, somepeople you can tell when they're lying

Should of put a white stripe on the tyres. Also why not put headrests on seats. It's dangerous in a crash. When your neck snaps back you'll regret not having them.

If someone (with some design sense) had cut the front bumper down the rear bumper would have been cut in the same way, but not drew, weird!!

Front tires too small. Should have been a square setup..

What's with the hot rod tyres? Totally inapropriate.

My word thats one Fugley Car. Saved by a thin Red Line.

Will your insurance company be ok with this? Changing the structure of the tyres.. What if there was a blowout on the motorway,and three people died..?

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.

Why the hell would people travel the world to get a stripe of paint on there tires

I wonder what Bridgestone would make of grinding away there tyre sidewall. Should not be legal to do it

I wonder what others think of Drew's new show. I don't like it at all. He is trying to reinvent himself, but the show has zero chemistry.

One day that tire stripe guy will be responsible for a crash or death. I wonder how well he is insured and whether his customers have to sign a waiver. Risky business model !!!

FreemelonsforVWlovers ! 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...

I personally didn't like it.

It's only a bloody VW for God's sake.Its not a Jaguar or an Aston Martin.
