Is this the oldest Variant?

I'll do that. Actually I posted an ad here in the forums before I left that I was travelling to Europe and would like to meet with tpe III owners. I met up with German guys and people in Spain but no one in France. Glad you still have that beautiful car, even though I would have kept it stock. But it is beautiful anyways! We'll keep in touch.

I recycle old cars and parts, other than when I rot, that's as Green as I am going to get.

Thanks to my Tesla driving neighbors, I feel more relaxed driving my SUBURBAN and old VW's.

Everything sounds good on paper!

For pms.serrano, it was a shame we didn't met last year because I live really near Lille!! If you come again, just tell me to arrange a visit to see type 3.

Welcome back Bertrand. All the cool stuff you posted back in the days made me look for more cool stuff for my square! What happened to that cool squareback of yours? I was in Lille last summer and all around Paris and I never saw a Tpe III Just a couple of busses going towards Belgium.

Mine has same front setup, and the rear deck lid has springs.

I thought early type III's had that bar to hold up the hood and this squareback has springs.

it's simply in my garage now and I really don't have the time or money to restore it.
When I saw him, I had to buy it because it was an very early one.
I would like to have it finished but you know I have others type 3 to work on and you know also that type 3 are very difficult to restore even in Europe!
It's also an early one and a lot things are not common with others....
but I keep it warm in my garage for the future...

I don't know really if it's the earliest but it doesn't matter, I love it!!

Thats very cool! Thanks for comming on and posting some new pics. What are the plans for the square? Stock, modified?? It looks to be very clean and should be easy to restore.
