Seller's comments about 1965' Volkswagen Type 3

1965 Volkswagen Type 3 Squareback 1500S RHD'A fully restored UK RHD Squareback 1500S with documented history, matching trailer, and true enthusiast ownership'We are pleased to offer this stunning ‘65 Type 3 Squareback. The current owner purchased it from Smiths of Cornwall (2020/ 21), the car had been off the road since the 1970s when discovered. Since then, the Squareback has undergone a comprehensive restoration, with extensive photographic documentation and invoices included in the history file. The car has been finished in L360 Sea Blue with a white top. It sits really nicely on Porsche 356 replica wheels finished with Wolfsburg hubcaps. The current owner is a genuine enthusiast, and the care, time, and attention invested into this car clearly show. He is the third owner from new and has taken this Type 3 to many classic car events along with his wife. It has a rebuilt twin-carburettor (1600 Barrel and Pistons) engine that provides more power and feels very confident on the road. The 1500s model was designed for sporty performance and was popular among enthusiasts for its sporty driving characteristics and performance. The 1500S model also includes additional exterior trim, such as wrap-around chrome signal lights and a wrap-around dash, as well as more interior features like a passenger's side door lock and mirror. It comes with a matching coloured trailer that really matches the aesthetic of the Type 3 and adds more room which is particularly helpful when planning to go to classic car events or camping trips. The result is a beautifully presented and mechanically sorted Type 3 that is ready to be driven, enjoyed, and shown. It combines originality, sympathetic upgrades, and reliability, making it an excellent example of a classic air-cooled Volkswagen. It starts on the key and is ready for its next chapter in life. A rare opportunity to acquire a UK RHD Squareback with strong provenance and a well-documented restoration. The odometer shows 86, 833 Miles (unverified).
