VW's Types 3 And 4 On The Web


The Type 3 Home

www.vwtype3.org
A fascinating site that, once past the black and flame red home page, takes you through a thorough walk through of all you would want to know about the type 3. There is a breath of information here, from the basics (what is a type 3 and the 3 distinct versions that went into production) as well as some interested design studies and more obscure production cars from Brazil, to technical info about the engine and other need-to-know bits about this car. I haven't gone over the whole site yet, and it has some interesting links that will provide me with more surfing over the winter months.

The VW Type 3 & 4 Club

The British VW type 3 & 4 club's page offers photo galleries, technical info and club info / events as well as contacts for the club and other web based sites. A great site to tap in to the clubs network of help, advice and knowledge about all things type 3 & 4.

Notchback Owners of North America

A well presented and very detailed site totally dedicated to the Notchback. There is a lot to see here, including photo galleries, rare add-ons to the type 3, restoration info, type 3 toys and a host of historical info and literature. Again this is also a club, which offers its own merchandise, contacts and events (but unfortunately no pics of the shop regalia).

Type 34 Karmann Ghia Registry

To be honest, before surfing these pages I didn't really know the difference between a type 3, type 4 or the Karmann type 3 Ghia, the type 34. This page is solely dedicated to the "other Ghia" and provides a wealth of information - including its history, and accompanied by plenty of restored cars from the States and Europe. The registry is also a club with its own newsletter and help areas for those looking for advice, spares or a good parts dealer. Well worth a visit for Type 34 nuts, and those who want to find out more about this unique car.
