Hi Guys,
I'm still looking for a type 3 but have come to the realisation that the initial "wish" may not be all that viable.

All the prerequisites at the moment are:

pre 70's

good original condition with no (or minimal rust)

fastback prefered, then notch or square

priced around $4000 - 6000

Hey
Just letting you know, top pic is a '70 onwards model.. not a '67 to '69 model as you requested.. so i'm not sure if you'll find that colour on an earlier car!

Fastback's are better for extra luggage space in the back, and a little more legroom i think, but IMHO the Notchback is a much nicer shape 😀

But then again, i'm biased! 😀

Hi Guys,
Thanks for the fast replies.

jo_tas: I was wondering about that image, thanks for clarifying.

manx_xtc: No quite what we're looking for at this stage, but I'll keep it in mind. Cheers

I know that your after a blue fastie, however www.carsales.com.au has a rather nice looking white one for sale in Vic. Or if you are interested in a notch then Volksfolks (on this forum) is selling a gorgeous looking white one. Good luck with your search !

Hi all, thanks for the replies.

empi: Nice machine, would prefer fasty but will think on it.

mscabrio: Have already been hiting up all of the internet sites, but thanks for the reminders.

Liam_81: Have already had a good look, but it isn't really what we've been looking for. Although a trip to canberra would be nice (we lived in canberra for 4 years upto 2003 whilst going to uni, great place!).

steve-89: May be interested, colour still may not fly with my lady though. I'll get back to you.

Paddo: Cheers for the link, the machine looks great. Once again don't think colour is right (although we do own a back car at moment!). Will think on it!

Thats the first time someone has said Canberra is great, people normally think it is dull and boring!

Empi and Boostn, I am VERY interested in both your cars. However, the buggy I currently own needs to go first. Are either of you interested in a swap of some sort?

I'm prepared to talk about ALL reasonable offers. I know the gap in prices looks big but I think maybe we can come to some sort of arrangement.

http://forums.aussieveedubbers.com/viewtopic.php?tid=49442

Please call me if you think you might like to own a very cool buggy.

BTW, I assume both cars are absolutely RUST FREE. right?

Hi my nan just passed away and left a very clean type3 TLE fastback.
I think its a 1971 but look just like your top pic and I think it has an indicator at the top of the tail light.
I Am in VIC but she loved the car and wanted it to go to someone that would love it too.
You car call me b/h (03) 9720-3177

Hi Matt, sorry to hear about your nan.
Car sounds nice (and you definatly shouldn't be sending it to the wreckers!). We've decided that we really want a pre 70's model, so we will not be interested (yet!). This may change in the comming weeks if we have not luck.
Cheers
Nick

Empi has a reeaaallly nice '62 notch for sale - that's about as early as you get and has all the nice bits. It's almost blue (red) & in your price range - check it out.
