Re: [T3] Model code & birthday.


<x-flowed>Of course impossible to tell how many were made, and there was also a 1600 TA version, which had the 1500 engine. I dont know if it was available as a TLA though, the list in the electronic parts catalogue doesnt mention this model.

The weird thing is that you could get both the 1600 T and TA with sunroof, which was often looked at as a luxurious item in those days.

That's quite interesting. I wonder how many fastbacks without the "L" package were ever produced. In Germany the fastback was commonly referred to as the "TL" so it seems no one really bought the stripped- down version.

The fastback was never liked much on the German market - the "TL" abbreviation led to the widespread moniker "traurige L?sung", which translates to "sad solution".
