expensive as hell and the front isn't 100% the same as the late type 3 but very close and should fit. I was thinking about buying these but since then I have bought one NOS rear bumper and a friend of mine has a very nice front bumper for me which I will get a pro to restore it to mint condition once again.
but the harrington bumpers are 304 stainless and will never rust 😵

There is/was a guy in the Philipines I think that had a whole bunch of NOS late bumpers. Very reasonable price inc freight too. He has a whole load of stuff from an old dealership or supplier.
I think this is the place
Cool to see so much new (NOS) stuff.

I watched a few of the you tube clips and in the comments below one of them, someone said the parts had been moved to Hong Kong. I also wonder how much they still have and what is there.

He did have ads on the Samba and may still have?
I did have past email contact but have lost that now.

This place in Germany has them. I don't know if they are OG type or stainless steel. Also a bit of other interesting stuff.

Pretty sure she/he is a girl. Joanna is the name. I could be wrong though?

You're absolutely right, I found the email on my old laptop.vlad01 wrote:guy?cruiser wrote:There is/was a guy in the Philipines I think that had a whole bunch of NOS late bumpers. Very reasonable price inc freight too. He has a whole load of stuff from an old dealership or supplier.

There was no price for the bumper but freight was only USD$92 to Australia.
Edit- I got a reply from Joanna already with a list of type 3 parts available. She has 26 NOS rear bumpers for late cars @ USD$107 each so you could land a perfect original bumper in Aus for about $210.

Hey I'd love a pm with the contact details too if you could send something vlad? I'm currently trying to track down lots of nos stuff for a 69 square, and it's bloody hard to find anything here anymore.
Thanks in advance, Dave

Oh is it?? 😉
i have my sources. Joanna is one of them but I have got all the late type 3 stuff she has, pretty much nothing left for me to buy, maybe some small rubber parts as I catalog during the slow tare down.
I will PM you the email address.

Thanks Vlad, I used to know a few Aussie hoarders of NOS stuff but that seems like a very long time ago. Paul Medhurst of Type 3 Detectives still has a few parts, but he's pretty much mostly Kombi's and lowering gear now.

I think after all this throw away mentality most of the world has adopted the NOS stuff is like gold.
a set of NOS type 3 mud flaps come up on the samba for 90 GBP this morning, I contacted the seller right away.... Already sold 😂
I find it hard to justify the $400 for the other set on the samba🤪
