Hi

That purple looks great when its in good nick, I used to service a bug that colour with chromies, it looked great. What is that colour called again, plum loco?

So are these going in the Rose & Ian collection? Rexy would fit nice in them?

No such thing as a factory ragtop sunroof type 3 🙅
still a nice job though, great colour, looks like it has some typical rust in the A and C pillars

yeah that bike had a little motor on it.

the bike could be worth more than the type 3's

How do you guys find these? I wish I could stumble on some gems like these.

vlad01 ·

any updates? can you, if possible try to find the paint sticker under the bonnet of the purple one.
And let the world know what it is 😀

I dont think its the original colour, looks to have been white originally

Its just really dirty outside
The colour is actually hot pink, dont think that was factory issue 😂

the primer is whitish gray. Looks purple to me and same as mine. Can you check it? the sticker that is.

hmm that is very interesting. So the notchbacks do have a different heater channels shape to the other models.
