My neighbour had one of those many years ago, it had a beetle engine with fuel injection, 1600cc I think and it was metallic green. edit:- It was
1500cc and there's the very one here under the 1966 picture.

yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

VW Type 3
I can confirm that the picture is of a VW Type 3 Fastback. I had a Type 3 Variant that was the estate model (an estate with a boot up front as well!)
it was a 1.6l with fuel injection. There was also a saloon version called the Notchback. The headlights have been altered and it has been lowered.
Contrary to popular myth it isn't a beetle rebody. They have a different chassis and suspension. The engine is based on that of the beetle (VW
Type 1, the campers are type 2's) but there is a special aluminium fan housing mounted on the back instead of on top.
Sorry for being an anorak!
