Type 3s were 5-lug from 61-65.
4 lug began with front disc brakes for the 1966 model year (around August, 1965).

What is UK spec., other than RHD? It would be interesting to see a listing of what UK spec. includes.

dunno, i'm all new to this t3 stuff......just found a squareback locally.....

all the guy has said is that its a 64/65 in sea blue with a two tone grey interior.....

just wanted to know whether its 5 stud so i can formulate my plans Wink

5 stud would be better Smile

apparently its a 'S' model......what does that mean?

its had an upgrade on the og 1500 twin carbed engine also to 1600cc....

any advice muchly appreciated Smile

I belive the UK T3s all followed what Germany gave them. And in this case its 5 lug till the end of 65. As DMNCLNR so eliquently put, there is alot of pics and info on the 64-65 spec T3 whith in this site. Cruze around and you will see the color codes, interiors and neat options found on the T3. The only T3 I can think of that retained the 5 lug longer was the Australian spec T3. They kept 5 luggers till 68. Simons book is a wealth of info on these odd, against the norm offshoots "other" VW facilities did. Hope that give you a start. Look around first then plug away with the questions. There is more than one know it all here that would be more than happy to answer. Welcome to T3 ownership. Wink
