71 Fastback New to the Type 3.

Post by RustyKev » 17th July 2020 - 8:53pm

Just aquired a 71 1600E Fastback, I had been trying to source a Notchback when this popped up.

It has evidently been a members car in the past given the literature in the Service file, it has a genuine 56k, every MOT since 74, tax discs, owners manuals, original stamped Service history, original sales invoice from the Dealership and tons of receipts dating back to the 70s.

The last owner sadly passed away in 2014 and the car had sat in a Barn since, I was offered the chance to view the car and a deal was done there and then.

Welcome !

Looks a tidy car, I'm not sure you are going to need those spares yet.

On the photos, you can upload them direct to the site now, so no need to have them disappear or have the watermark across them :thumbsup:

Cant be a late fastback, is there much that needs to be done? Or just a light recommision? Given the selection of wings you have, are you expecting the current ones to be shot?

Are the replacement fronts fibreglass, if you dont use them I may be interested in them. Maybe ive getting a head of myself. The car certainly looked good in the days gone by!

Best of luck and if you need any help or advice, were all here.
