What year was the last of the Type 3 built in South Africa ????????

Did they make the 1973 Fastback here or was production stopped before this time.....

I have not seen a Fastback later then a 1970 model here,

Has anybody on the forum got a 1973 Fastback, or even a SQ, or Notch ????

1969 was the last year that Type 3s were sold here in ZA.

Anything later than that are all imports.
