The car in the main pic an the first two thumbnails is a 1973+ VW 412 Wagon, colour "marathonmetallic". The car on the third thumbnail is a 1970+ VW 1600 Variant "longnose" (squareback in the USA). And left of it is - surely for walter ![]() -- Last edit: 2009-03-12 20:11:48 |

Im getting so confused with these Volkswagens ![]() ![]() |

No, the 412 is a Typ 4, the 1600 Variant a Typ 3. |

I know but in Estate versions theyre almost the same? |
◊ 2009-03-12 20:27 |
No. Different models, different engines, even different chassis-construction. |

Im talking about the design Ingo not the engines. |

Twodoor wagons with aircooled engines, made by VW - that's all. I must hardly think, which parts from the body are identical. Probably nothing. I'm even not sure about the door-handles. Uuups, now I know: the hubcaps! The hubcaps are identical at both cars. So at least they have as much in common as the VW K 70 with the NSU RO 80 - the hubcaps. ![]() -- Last edit: 2009-03-12 20:38:05 |

P.S. The colour of the 1600 Squareback is "kansasbeige" - VW-enthusiasts have named it "the colour, which looks like puked-up porridge". ![]() |

Indeed Typ 3 and 4 are rather different... e.g. /vehicle_30846-Volkswagen-Variant-S-Typ-36-1964.html /vehicle_196648-Volkswagen-411-E-Variant-Typ-4-1972.html (even if there are similarities, like the grille on the rear fender... or the hubcaps as Ingo said ![]() |

*nitpicking modus on* @Antoine: sorry, but you caught the wrong pics. The red Variant is a pre-1970 "shortnose", which has a plenty of different parts than the 1970+ "longnose" - except the doors and the windows everything from the body. Same goes for the orange 411 Variant. A lot of difference to the 412. ![]() But we appreciate your idea, which goes in the correct direction. ![]() *nitpicking modus off* |
