1964 VW Type 3 Notchback 1500s

This early notch is the rare S model with factory fitted twin carbs: the first production VW capable of 100mph.
This beautiful example of a phenominal piece of history was imported from California in 2006 it has never been welded and thanks to its early life in the dry climate it is solid underneath and throughout.
Paintwork is largely original. the previous owner having painted the bonnet and bootlid in the correct colour. There is some light corrosion to the wings. but the patina of the bodywork and paint needs to be seen to be believed. It is 99% original in every way. All panels are original and have been a part of the car from new.

Chrome is patinad as you would expect. but solid and straight and included the side trims both midline and lower.
The car is still running on 6volt electric. which adds to the character but is an affordable conversion if the new owner chooses to do so. Everything works as it should.
The car has been lowered which creates a great presence. its stance on the chromed 356 replica wheels including hubcaps have served to retain the correct amount of patina and look as though they have been fitted from stock.

The interior has that VW smell and just oozes character. the carpet set is aftermarket however it is in keeping with the feel of the car. The floor pans have been painted black. they are rock solid both front to back.

The engine starts first time every time and ticks over perfectly after having had a recent overhaul. It will need new choke components on the twin carbs as they are worn. but that doesn't detract from what a great drive this car is.

She turns heads everywhere I have taken her and she is a hot topic of conversation whilst sat in the carpark as so many people have never seen one before. (Although doesnt please the Mrs much when she's stood listening to me give my elevated speech about how awesome she is!!!!)

Altogether one super rare early VW type 3 notchback. olid enough for a cost effective restoration. or use her as she is!
You will not find another this original or this cool at this price.
Comes with 11 month MOT and 11 months tax disc (although please note that this car is tax exempt) and on classic insurance which is £58 a year fully comp with a garanteed valuation of £7000
