eXraycer - May 31st, 2013 at 12:43 PM

I have a 66 Fastback. Looking for a rear seat back with fold down centre armrest in working condition. Can pick-up with my courier if interstate pending I can get a reasonable rate from your location.. I'm located in Sydney.
Ok if it needs a retrim.

Have had a few... they are few and far between in this country, try the samba.com

I believe they would have been in the fully imported type 3 1500S halfbacks/notchbacks..

with the nice hounds tooth cloth upholstery..
which the Aussie UV rays destroyed very quickly..

anyone know of any with vinyl covered armrest??

best of luck

Yes mine is vinyl

What the feck is a halfback?
And by houndstooth I assume you mean cloth salt and pepper

I've got a long way to go yet before I start on the interior but it can't hurt to put the feelers out.
I won't spend on shipping one from the USA either. That money could be better spent elsewhere.

I don't remember ever seeing one here in Aussie

i loved the halfback comment, never heard that before

I think 'halfback' was used locally in Australia amongst VW dealers and a few local marketing campaigns but the term lost traction over the years. I recall seeing an old video once of VW ads or it could have been an internal sales training video. Sorry, my recollection is a bit sketchy but if I find the video again I will share it.

You will need luck finding an armrest seat as they were only on imported notchback and fastback models, never seen one for sale ( that wasn't fitted to a car) in Australia.

The "halfback" term is used in the 1972 Australian type 3 sales brochure ( there's a copy in theSamba archives ).

That would make a Square a Fullback
