Welcome. It looks like the classic car scene is thriving there. Is that Poland, or have I misunderstood ?

Very nice squareback. It´s very similar than my 73 one. Mine is my only car too. Is it Royal Red colour on the body?. Fuel injected or carbs?.

You are correct. It´s mine. Royal Red is the favorite colour of the Type 3 publicity of the 70s, and this is the cause for my election. The body of my car was originally pastel white with red interior. I would have kept this colour but the body was repainted after in some kind of blue.

Nice pictures with the snow over the square. Do you know if there are many more type 3 in Romania?.

No, they were not included in the lower trim versions - including some sold in the UK. The bulb holder, bulb, wiring, fuse holder and reversing switch in the gearbox were all left out. I think quite a lot of dealers fitted them though. Even the passenger sun-visor was extra!

If you go to vwtype3and4club.org.uk and click on Technical Web, there is a link to the M-codes.
Or click this! http://home.clara.net/hallvw/t3mnos.htm
