To go with the T3 DoKa posted yesterday, here is my fair-weather ride in Switzerland. The Swiss rules on historic registration are strict and bone stock is the expectation. Gunther is all original except for the Atiwe Kaseloch wheels I fitted (which have special approval for T3's in Germany) and were allowed onto my registration as the mechanic convinced the agency they were period-correct offerings (true, but in 14); also the braided brake lines for a bit more stop....which is still a spicy adventure on mountain passes. Like everywhere, smiles and waves abound.
He stays in the garage for the winter months and never sees salt. No rust and all original sealant (a few rubbers replaced for windows recently). Second owner with known provenance and full service history (Swiss delivery). Never misses a beat. Great for cruising...maybe a celebratory visit to Wolfsburg in honour of the 75th anniversary of VW in Switzerland (nuts to missing the Bulli parade...).
