AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

GENERAL:

Beautiful Volkswagen T3. This is a particularly original and recently restored specimen, originating from the first owner and carefully maintained according to factory specifications.

In 2024 the car was thoroughly restored, with a lot of attention paid to preservation and quality both technically and aesthetically. A unique opportunity for the enthusiast who is looking for an original and distinctive classic.

BODYWORK & PAINTWORK:

The exterior is fully restored. The sheet metal has been fully sand-blasted and professionally repainted by an accredited body shop, with an investment of around €6,500. The result is a neat, high-quality finish with beautiful lines.

The car is a true head-turner and stands out clearly in today’s traffic. The chrome parts are in good condition. Additionally, the loading cover has been completely renewed and the wooden loading floor has also recently been replaced.

TECHNICAL:

The car runs, shifts, and brakes as it should. The engineering is well maintained and recently serviced. At the end of 2025 the car received a major service and a new TÜV inspection.

Various components have been rebuilt, including the fuel pump, starter, and dynamo. This contributes to the reliability and driving pleasure of this classic Volkswagen.

INTERIOR:

The interior is in completely original condition, which makes this example extra special. The upholstery is original and, given its age, still looks very good.

All gauges and controls are original and function properly. The heater motor has been rebuilt and works perfectly. An interior in this condition is rare and underscores the unique character of this car.

CHASSIS:

The chassis is completely original and in very good condition. The car has always been stored indoors, which is clearly visible on the underside.

The floor pan, door sill, and wheel arches are in tidy and healthy condition. In the photos you can clearly see that the underside is original and untouched.

DOCUMENTS:

The car is supplied with the original German Fahrzeugbrief and is registered as an oldtimer. In addition, the original keys, manuals and books are present, as well as the original service and maintenance logbook.

PICKUP:

The car can be picked up in Hardenberg. Viewing by appointment is possible.

OTHER INFORMATION:

A particularly original and carefully restored example, ready to enjoy immediately. This Volkswagen T3 combines charm, originality and practicality, and also represents an interesting investment with potential for appreciation.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
