Hi Jan,
are any of your cars Right Hand Drive..??
I remember when Sweden changed over from RHD to LHD in 1967 ??? Iceland also changed over to LHD cars...
I presume there are still some old cars over there in RHD...??

cheers
From Down Under

You mentioned you have type 3 also. Which model do you have?
I have one, but they are quite rare in Australia.

The blue TS version is almost in mint condition, and the red one is the S version..S versions are very rare in Sweden.

matberry - October 20th, 2009 at 08:53 AM

OMG what a collection. Looks like they're stored well. Keep them out of the cold. I had a '74 Passat 1300 2 door in about '84 and it was a great car, 'till I put it on it's roof !! Dont think we got the S over here. It's the air cooled I love still going strong. One of those type 4's would be NICE. If you want to get rid of one :spin: :-)

Yogie - October 20th, 2009 at 05:20 PM

Fantastic collection you have there. You will be busy for many years to come working on all of these. Welcome to the site as well.
