The Appeal

Following the success of the unashamedly unconventional Type 1 and Type 2, Volkswagen decided to add a car with more traditional proportions to their range, logically christening it the ‘Type 3’. While it never enjoyed quite the level of success, the Type 3 was highly regarded and remains a sought-after classic amongst today’s thriving air-cooled community.

This 1964 ‘Squareback’ has been meticulously restored and serviced by the vendor’s classic car restoration business, making it a standout example. The unique Glasurit yellow colour with a metallic green roof adds to its charm and ensures it won't go unnoticed on the road. With only one previous owner and a full restoration, this car is a fantastic opportunity for any classic car enthusiast.
