The Variant II must not be confused with the Brasilian car which actually had that name. The Variant II had the "A" equipment level, 1500 or 1600 engine, swing axles and 90 kgs higher total weight. I've seen the Variant II designation used in my owners manual, and I even in some UK owners manual or sales brouchure I saw on the net, not too long ago. Regular Euro type 3s used IRS from 68, I believe it was. PerL ------------------------------------------------------------------- Search old messages on the Web! Visit http://www.vwtype3.org/list/
