Volkswagen 1600 Typ3 1600 L Automatik 1972

General description : Deutsche Erstauslieferung mit 4 Vorbesitzer - Fahrzeug kommt aus einer privaten Sammlung - Fahrzeug in einem Top Zustand - Das Fahrzeug hat bereits eine H - Zulassung


Egal wie sehr man VW mochte, wenn man in den 1950ern ein größeres Auto wollte - aber keinen Bus - musste man sich anderswo umschauen, die Firma hatte nichts anzubieten
Dies änderte sich 1961 mit der Präsentation des VW 1500, intern Typ 3 genannt. Er folgte dem Konstruktionsprinzip des Käfers,hatte also einen luftgekühlten Boxermotor im Heck.
Dank der veringerten Bauhöhe war auch hinten Platz für Gepäck, als Ergänzung zum eigentlichen Kofferraum unter der Fronthaube, welche ebenfalls spürbar größer war als die des Käfers.
Als Karosserieform gab es eine 2-türige Limousine und den Kombi, genannt Variant, sowie ab 1965 ein Fließheckmodell, den TL. Ein 1,6 Liter-Motor ergänzte das Angebot, und 1967 war der VW 1600 E Deutschland erstes Serienauto mit elektronischer Benzineinspritzung, der Bosch D-Jetronic.
Für die Modellpflege des Jahres 1969 wurde die Front um 12 cm verlängert, was nochmal mehr Gepäckraum schuf.Die Langschnauzer wurden bis 1973 produziert und dann vom vollkommen neuen Passat abgelöst. Insgesamt wurden über 2,5 Millionen Fahrzeuge vom Typ 3 gefertigt, davon fast die Hälfte als Variant.

About Volkswagen
The Volkswagen story is indeed an intriguing tale of innovation, resilience, and post-war revival, marked by various models that have become iconic in automotive history.

The People's Car (Volkswagen): Initially envisioned by Adolf Hitler in the 1930s as a "people's car" or "Volkswagen" in German, the idea was to create an affordable and practical vehicle for the German people. This concept led to the development of the Volkswagen Beetle (or the Type 1), designed by Ferdinand Porsche.
Post-War Challenges: After World War II, Volkswagen faced significant challenges. The factory was heavily damaged, and the brand's association with the Nazi regime led to a lack of interest in the car in some regions.
British Intervention - The British Army & Ivan Hirst: The British Army took control of the factory in the immediate post-war period. Major Ivan Hirst, a British Army officer, played a crucial role in reviving Volkswagen. He recognized the potential of the Beetle and advocated for its production, convincing the British military to order several thousand cars. This decision helped jumpstart the brand's revival.
Export Success and the Beetle's Global Appeal: The Beetle gained popularity not only in Germany but also globally, becoming an icon of affordable motoring. Its simple, reliable design and unique appearance made it a favorite among consumers worldwide.
Model Evolution: Over the years, Volkswagen introduced various models alongside the Beetle, each contributing to the brand's growth:
Type 2 (VW Bus or Transporter): Introduced in the 1950s, it became an iconic symbol of the hippie movement in the 1960s, loved for its spaciousness and versatility.
Golf (Rabbit in the U.S.): Launched in the mid-1970s, the Golf (or Rabbit in the U.S.) marked a shift towards front-wheel-drive, modern design, and hatchback practicality, becoming a cornerstone of the brand's success.
Passat, Jetta, and Other Models: Volkswagen expanded its lineup with models like the Passat and Jetta, catering to different market segments.
Challenges and Innovations: Despite success, Volkswagen faced challenges, including quality issues in the 1970s. However, the brand continued to innovate and develop new models and technologies.
Rise of the GTI and Global Expansion: The 1980s saw the rise of the iconic Golf GTI, a high-performance version that sparked the hot hatch trend. Volkswagen also expanded its global presence during this period.
The British intervention in reviving Volkswagen after World War II played a pivotal role in the brand's resurgence. While there might have been some tensions or competition among automotive companies in the 1950s and 1960s due to Volkswagen's post-war success, the brand's ability to produce innovative and popular models solidified its place in automotive history.
