The original Type 3 with 5-stud wheels (5 x 205В mm PCD) used twin leading shoe drum brakes at the front. In each of the 3 variants (Notchback, Squareback, and Fastback) as well as the Type 2вЂ™s from 1968 on, the engine was located under a panel in the rear trunk. The Type 3 offered both front and rear enclosed luggage areas, with greater volume and cargo accessibility via both the boot (trunk) and the bonnet (hood). In 1968 the rear suspension was upgraded to double jointedВ CV jointВ semi-trailing arm suspension (sometimes called IRS by VW enthusiasts to differentiate it from the previous ( IRS ) swing-axle type), a design feature that previously appeared on the VW Type 2 in 1967. The complete front suspension unit is rubber-mounted to the carвЂ™s floor pan.

The Type 3вЂ™s torsion bars are cross-mounted in the lower tube, so that each individual torsion bar spans the full width of the car, the upper tube containing an anti-roll bar that connects the upper trailing links to each other. Also introduced for 1968 was a fullyВ automatic transmission.ДЄ notable advance from the VW Beetle to the Type 3 was the front suspensionВ - although similar to the Type 1, it was the first Volkswagen front suspension to incorporate transverse round torsion bars, as opposed to the Type 1вЂ™s torsion leaves.

A similar Bosch injection system was used in the laterВ Type 4 VW 411, some models of the Porsche 914, Opel Admiral, Diplomat and Commodore, and available for the Volvo 1800E/ES, 142E, and certain 1972-75 140 and 164 series cars (seeВ Volvo P1800). The BoschВ D-JetronicВ system was offered on the Volkswagen 1600 TE & LE version (E designating вЂњ EinspritzungвЂќ or вЂњinjectionвЂќ in German). The VW Type 3 engine received a larger displacement (1.6В L) for 1966 (August вЂ™65) and in 1968 became the worldвЂ™s first volume production car to featureВ electronic fuel injectionВ вЂ“ pioneered byВ Bosch. In August 1963 VW introduced single- and twin-carburetor versions, respectively the Volkswagen 1500 вЂNвЂ™ (Normal), rated at 45В PSВ (33В kW 44В hp), and the 1500 вЂSвЂ™ (Super), 54В PS (40В kW 53В hp) which had high-compression (8.5:1) domed 83В mm pistons and twin downdraught 32В mm Solex PDSIT carburetors for more power. The original Volkswagen 1500 engine used a single side-draught 32В mm Solex PHN carburetor. Unlike the VW Bug (Type 1), the Type 3 engine and transmission unit was mounted into a subframe (which contained the complete rear suspension), in turn rubber-mounted to the floor pan and body, thereby isolating vibration and road noise from the passenger space. It used a similar transmission to the VW Beetle but with higher ratios (4.125 R&P v 4.375 R&P) and longer axles.

The engineвЂ™s displacement would eventually increase to 1.6В L (1584В cc). This reduced the height of the engine profile, allowed greater cargo volume, and earned the nicknames of вЂњPancakeвЂќ or вЂњSuitcaseвЂќ engine. While theВ long blockВ remained the same as the Type 1, the engine cooling was redesigned by putting the fan on the end of the crankshaft instead of on the generator.

The vehicle has its French registration documents in collectio registration card and up-to-date technical control.The VW Type 3 engine was initially a 1.5В L (1493В cc) engine based on the air-cooled 1192В ccВ flat-4В found in the Type 1, but given a 69В mm stroke it became the basis for the 1300В cc and 1600В cc engines that followed in the later Beetle (Type 1) andВ Volkswagen Type 2 T1 and T2 Bus.
