AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
HIGHLIGHTS:
• Executed in striking 1980s color scheme with gold, copper, and brown stripeing
• Rare original factory-sunroof panel (sliding roof) – factory installed
• Equipped with comfortable Captain Seats in the front and a refreshed interior
• Rustic 1.6 TD JX turbodiesel engine paired with a manual 5-speed transmission
• Featuring plastic spoiler and body cladding in Carat style
HISTORY & OVERVIEW:
The Volkswagen T3, the third generation of the legendary Transporter, introduced a boxier design and a roomier cabin while retaining the familiar rear-mounted engine and rear-wheel drive. The luxurious Caravelle version was aimed at passenger transport with extra comfort and equipment. This particular example has a first registration date of 15 June 1984 and combines classic early T3 features with a very pronounced 1980s look. The bus is registered with Belgian plates and is currently located in Enter, the Netherlands.
BODYWORK & PAINT:
The body is finished in white and is in solid, sturdy condition. The sides feature a distinctive 1980s stripeing in gold, copper, and brown tones. All around the bus is equipped with a Carat-style plastic spoiler and body cladding, including lower front and side cladding. In keeping with its age of over forty years, there are light age- and usage-related signs as well as some cosmetic imperfections in the paint. A notable plus is the original factory-stale (factory) sunroof.
INTERIOR:
The interior has been retrimmed, giving it a fresh and well-kept appearance. Up front, the vehicle features comfortable Captain Seats with armrests. The whole interior nicely complements the white exterior color and the classic styling.
ENGINE & TECHNICAL:
At the rear lies the well-known 1.6-liter JX four-cylinder turbodiesel engine with about 70 hp (51 kW) and 138 Nm of torque. The liquid-cooled engine is paired with a five-speed manual transmission driving the rear wheels.
DOCUMENTS:
The vehicle comes with Belgian registration documents.
Note for Dutch buyers: This beautiful bus has full and valid Belgian registration. Not suitable for registration on Dutch roads, but for Belgian registration. Other buyers from countries other than the Netherlands should first check the conditions for import and registration in their country.
The vehicle can be viewed and collected in Enter, the Netherlands. Bids exclude transport and export, unless otherwise stated. Arranging transport, title transfer, and any registration/export documents are the responsibility of the buyer.

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.
