Re: [T3] Canadian T3s

I would not agree that only Canada got the 'E' cars.  VW 1500
Variant 'E' cars were sold in Zambia in 1965.  They were the
single carburettor alternative to the twin-carburettor 'S' with all
the de luxe trimmings of the 'S' as well.  And, they were right
hand drive cars, too.  And, being a 'tropical' specification, they
did not have an Eberspaecher petrol burning heater.

They had the script on the rear hatch as follows:
	Volkswagen
	1500
	E
