These vans have FI engines with CAT, and although supplied LHD, the company can convert them to RHD. The engines don't have heat exchangers at all - they're made in Brazil and don't need them there. They look very similar to the old second generation body, but with a deeper roof section and extra swageing on the front doors. I can't seen them making Type 3s again though! I guess the FI system might be adapted for a Type 3, but the throttle body on this was mounted vertically on the old carb-style manifold and the induction side would have to be repositioned. Anyway, there's nothing wrong with ours! Dave.
