Type 3 cars were also assembled in South Africa from 1963 to August 1969. My Sqaureback is registered as a January '69 model although I think it is realy a '68. The official delivery date to the VW agency from which my dad bought the car is 15-01-1969. BTW how long did it take to assemble a Type 3? The mechanicals of the cars assembled here were slightly different to that of other countries. We only had things like IRS, disc brakes and dual hydraulic circuits on the automatic models which were available in '69. It is also interesting to note that all the parts on these cars were imported from Germany and there were no local content whatsoever! (Try doing that today!!!!) I think the chassis numbering system also corresponds to what was used elsewhere. Mine says: 369022143 Regards Adriaan Loedolff adriaan@norton.ctech.ac.za '69 Squareback Automatic
