Can anyone identify this VW?
Does anyone have any info on this racing VW from the early 70's I think.
The Fiat in front of it is Holden powered.

You're reading the same mag as me Pete?
What about the previous page in the sports sedan column. Something about "... VW-Chev of Brian Thompson ..."

That would explain the grill in the bonnet then!
Love the image on the back page.

i think the type 3 had a mid-mounted chev...
I have a big car-lovin family, and most of my cousins are holden/chev fans - which means i regularly get asked "when am i gonna mid-mount a 350
in that wagon?"... ah, and offers for free coolant and radiator caps... they're so funny.
