Comments from the seller

ROADWORTHY, REGULARLY SERVICED, AND FULLY REGISTERED TO FEB 2026. TYPE 3 ENGINE REBUILT BY CBB IN SYDNEY: * 77,000 miles on the odometer * Bored out to 2L capacity * Custom exhaust * Original dual Weber carbs This naturally-aspirated pocket rocket turns heads and puts a smile on your face. Well maintained and regularly serviced, this rare notch back has been lovingly cared for by a Volkwagen enthusiast. This car features a rebuilt "pancake" 4 cylinder boxer engine, and 4 speed manual transmission. Weighing less than 1000kg and bored out to 2L, this custom type 3 can give you a thrill if you put down the pedal. This car can easily be your daily driver, or put on a club rego and toured on the weekends. Pop on some tunes on the Bluetooth speaker and remember how much fun it can be to simply go for a drive. Recent work done: * Brake fluid bleed and top up, rubbers checked by professional * Replacement generator belt * Replacement shocks I love this car, but unfortunately, I'm moving back to the big smoke and won't have room to take her with me. Like all good classic car owners, this car comes optional with a box of random VW parts, including a replacement passenger rear quarter panel. Serious offers only, please. No trades.
