The seller offers for sale this 1964 Volkswagen Type 3 1500 S Notchback, an early example of Volkswagen’s mid-size model range known for its reliability and distinctive styling. This car is powered by a 1.5-liter four-cylinder petrol engine paired with a manual transmission. According to the seller, the car was produced in 1964 and registered in 1965, and has remained in France since new with only four owners over a period of 62 years. The vehicle was restored in 1992 with photo documentation, and invoices have been preserved since 1987. The car is described as being in good working order and benefits from an FIA card, making it eligible for regularity events. The paintwork was refinished during the restoration in a red colour, although not in the original shade. The interior is reported to be original and well preserved. The engine runs well and the gearbox shifts smoothly.
The current documented mileage is 133.000 km and it holds a valid technical inspection.
The Volkswagen Type 3 was introduced in the early 1960s as a more spacious and refined alternative to the iconic Beetle. The 1500 S variant featured improved performance and equipment, making it one of the more desirable versions within the range. With its flat-four engine and practical layout, the Type 3 offered a comfortable driving experience combined with the well-known durability of Volkswagen engineering. Today the Notchback version is appreciated by enthusiasts for its clean design, usability and growing collectability among classic Volkswagen models.
