Classic Garage | Volkswagen 311 1600 TL Fastback 1966 

Good and simple days indeed!

Meiner auch!!! Ein Nachbar hatte so einen und wir sind noch mit dem Lloyd Alexander rumgegurkt.

Indeed! ☺☺

Lucky you! 😃

Sad solution 😆😆 Thank you for that, new info for me! Good car indeed 😃

@@ClassicGarageDK The VW 1600 had in all versions an underfloor engine in the rear of the car. That way the TL had 2 trunks, 1 in the front and 1 in the rear, many space for the baggage of a family. I remember a 1960's family holiday in the beautiful landscape of carinthia ( austria ) near the lake ossiach. We drove with 4 persons plus baggage from bremerhaven ( north germany) with an overnight stay in bavaria via the großglockner high alpine road. I was a child but i remember the voyage in the car as quite comfy, at the großglockner we passed many cars with boiling cooling water. The VW had an aircooled engine which worked fine, no boiling possible. All versions had 2 doors only, 4 doors were not available, which made it a little uncomfortable to enter and leave the rear seats. My father was a master car mechanic with VW. He told stories that from a professional point of view maintenance and repairs of the engine were difficult and complicated because there was minor space at the underfloor engine.

I agree! I love when the old classics still have the original license plate!

Lovely car indeed! Thanks!

Good times! 👌

Nice, squarebacks are lovely too!

Thank you so much!

👌🙏

We had one before, a beetle but not made in Germany. Made in Brazil, our father bought it brand new

Thank you! Nice work you do too!

@@ClassicGarageDK thank you!

Thank you so much!

+1 😁😁❤❤

Cool story! ☺☺

They do about 85

They were build different back then indeed! 😉

The price tag on the Type 3 must have been a lot more than the Beetle!

Thank you so much! Tires are 215/70 R15 ☺☺

@@ClassicGarageDK The fronts look like 165R 15? I don’t think the 215’s would fit in the front?

⁠@@marcianopitargue5076 i only thought you ment the rear. Havent checked front tires, but i am pretty sure they were 165/80 R15 ☺️

Some like the fog lights and some dont - i think they add an even more oldschool touch on the car 😊

Sorry, i have just checked my phone, and i have no engine shot!

No, try to look up “1600 TL Squareback” - there you have your “Variant” or stationcar ☺️☺️

That’s what we call a “monday car” in Denmark 🤨 Maybe you was just unlucky.

@@ClassicGarageDK Monday Car ?

@@zaedlo some call it "lemon" too. A car with different problems, that other similar cars did not have.

They made 2.8 million type 3s. I’d say that’s a success. That’s nearly as many sales as the Volvo 200 series but in far less time. It was a step up from a beetle not a replacement and as such it was never expected to sell in the same numbers as the beetle.

Sorry, what…?

Brutal finde ich nur diesen Kommentar. Frech und unhöflich

@@ReBecca-pq4wh Wir sind hier nicht in den USA wo man sich höflich was vorlügt. Das hat mit frech und unhöflich nichts zu tun, sodern heißt wenn ich ein Idiot bin, dann ist sensibel die falsche Gefühlslage.

@@michaelwalter3301 Ich fühle mich jetzt mal nicht als Idiot angesprochen. Ich habe nur meine Meinung geäußert. Online-Netikette hat auch nichts mit der, zugegebenermaßen nicht immer ehrlichen Freundlichkeit in den USA zu tun. Die es ja auch schon vor Zeiten des Internets gegeben hat. Du hast Dich ja auch vertippt. Zählst Du Dich deshalb auch zu Denen die, die vierte Klasse nicht abschlossen haben??? 😋

Первьi раз когда увидел етот модели "Фолксвагена" бьiло 1967г.Красивая машьiна.Даже любопитньiй куриоз расказьiвали:Когда представили такой машинен на пункт для первоначальной регистрации служители искали двигателя безуспешно и впереди о сзади,а он под полом!Ето история от Болгарии.
