Last Sunday I went on a very special mission… I had to get a car out of a garage! Can You see it already? Treasure hunting Bob Style…
Let’s get closer….
More closer, can You see it now… lurking???
a cool late-model Type Three… isn’t this nice???
And its out! Incredible… read on to get the complete story….
This car was bought brand new by Mr. René. He passed away couple of years ago but his children always took good care, started it up regularly and washed it times to times… featuring original 53.000km this is a real cool and very original car. there is absolutely no trace of rust NO PLACE!! all the weak spots they look like NEW… Paint is all original with some minor touch ups…
When the children thought about selling the VW Gods pointed them my direction, and I was the only one that was able to buy this car!
On the trailer and ready to go… this poor baby might not know what’s happening! It was 47 years in this house, in this neighbourhood…
53.000 original km, last service in 1986 and full service notes! The original registration card (I never saw that before from a French car) and a super cool history!
This car hardly drove in the rain… when it rained Mr.René prefered to leave the car inside and drive his Solex motor bicycle. he preffered he went wet and the car stayed dry… one time he drove it to work when snow surprised him, there was about 0.5cm of snow on the car when he came out of the factory… he was all over his boiling point!!! He drove home and dried literally the car from 5 to 10pm (a mere 5 hrs!!) with an hairdryer!! Imagine!!
Aren’t they beautiful when this original???
This car will be for sale soon, as I can’t keep them all.. unfortunately… if you’re fancy a low mileage all original and crazy history Type 3 square back just contact me on Bob@BBT4vw.com
Transmission is serial nr 2-0423 196 what means its made somewhere around June 1952, it’s a fully crash (totally unsynchronized) gearbox in very dry condition, disassembled in the sixties and always dry stored over all those years…
The Front axle is serial nr 2-048571 what means its made March 1953 its complete with spindles and is really rock solid, same thing, as transmission dismantled in the sixties and ever kept dry ever since!
Transmission and Front axle are either available together or seperate, choice is yours! Everybody realise these are very, very rare parts! Especially in this totally untouched condition… no cancer, no rot, no place! The best money can buy for your project!
