panel van type 3

[Aaron Britcher <abritcher@ezinet.com.au>]

Yes VW did make the type 3 into a panel van. I own one which at the time 
of dismantling had about 70,000 miles on it and it is undergoing a 
massive rebuild which has involved almost every major Type 3 dude in the 
world. All panels are NOS and cadmium plated, synthetic BRM wheels (only 
set in Australia), NOS EMPI goodies, fuel injected 2276cc engine, you 
name it it has it or will have it. All parts are NOS with few 
exceptions. These are rare vehicles. Also a friend of mine also in 
Adelaide, Andrew (on this list) has an all original panel van with only 
30,000 miles on the clock and is identical to mine when mine was all 
together. Yes that German Type 3 book is good. I wish someone could 
translate the entire book. As far as I know there are about 10 panel 
vans in Australia. Mine has the body number of 33 and Andrews is about 
70. I have seen a wrecked one with an approximate number of 400 so I 
guess we got at least that many. Any hard facts floating about regarding 
these rares of rare Volkswagens? Still I have people tell me that 
Volkswagen never made them and still I have to show my full colour 
brochures from Denmark to prove them wrong. There has only ever been 
pictures of mine in Hot VW's and another one from Holland. Surely there 
must be a couple of good ones somewhere?
