Re: [T3] FI and type 34s?


Herman,

Back in October  last year I asked  Lee Hedges <Hedges@ixpres.com> who is
the President of the Type 34 Registry and renowned Type 34 Guru whether
Type 34s ever had the optional Bosch D-Jetronic fuel injection (VW Option
M-236) which was available for the other Type 3s from August 1967.  His
reply was:  "For some reason, the Type 34s never received the fuel
injection that the other Type 3 models had as an option in 1968-69.
However, there could have been factory prototypes that were made to test
the viability of the fuel ijection system."

However, bearing in mind that the sort of person who bought a brand new
Type 34 Karmann Ghia back in the late sixties would often have been quite
an enthusiast as well as someone who had a little money to burn (the Type
34 was quite expensive), I can't see why some of these very particular
buyers didn't specify Option M-236 especially in Switzerland where the
Type 31 and Type 36 with fuel injection were actively promoted.
