the type 5 if i am correct.

type 4 oh i dont bloody know, just half asleep

vw crown? or a prototype vw corona. Production of the vw 180xyzb never left the drawing board (little reminiscent of the homer simpson disaster). It apparently came with a full on 8 track system.. and scotchguard protection (till they found out that ddt (one of the main ingredients back then) caused respiritary probs and birth defects)....

O K:jesus

didn't Brazil make a four door based on a type 3? I know somebody did at one stage

just guessin b4,,, :thumb the forementioned facts on my part were a complete fabrication. I am in fact completely clueless and I would stick to kombikims answer lol 😉 (still think it looks like a crown mixed with a cortina, with a little bit o' fiat thrown in!)

FUGLY?

i'm pretty sure it's a type 5 they were'nt available in Aus but in malaysia and a few others Brazil maybe.

It looks like a Fiat with V-dub wheels

I know of another for sale in the Northern Hemisphere! Seen it in person too! Its called a Brasilia.

Looks too much like a Fiat for my liking!

About AU$22,000

It reminds me of a late 60's Renault. You know? The little square ones with the rear mounted motors

Regaurdless of what other make of car it looks like, $22,000 can by a lot of VW. I know what I would rather......... (type 3 Karmen Ghia).
