Aircooled VW South Africa

Legendary Belgian cyclist Eddy Merckx during a stage of the Tour de France in 1966. Note the ride of the Tour Director in the background..

That must be a hacked Type3...... Question... Which one though?

Hacked T3 or could it be one of the factory prototype convertibles? Either way, it looks very cool!

Aparently it is real. No hack. You learn each day, right?

Not quite. VW AG had planned a Karmann-built convertible as part of the Type 3 range right from the start, but for some reason this decision was withdrawn, even though there were already many brochures printed and distributed to dealers. There were indeed a few prototypes built, but I don't know if the one in the pic was indeed one of them?



This one is in the Wolfsburg Museum
