Upper Middle Petrol Head:

  The Canberra Bureau chief correspondent sent in these photos of this most magnificent Type 3 Volksie wagon, resplendent in what looks like classic VW Rallye Yellow.  Whatever the colour's called - it could also be Sunflower -  it's an absolute treat that really suits the car. The wheels look great, too!  On first sight, they appear to be five-spoke "jelly beans," which are bang on for the car's era, but might actually be a newer recreation of the classic style.  They're certainly mint but there's something - a slightly flatter profile, perhaps - that makes me wonder if they're not a reinterpretation of the original 1970s' design.   Also adding to the car's enormous appeal are its nifty wooden roof rack rails, along with the rear louvres.  All very 70s and Euro-style, especially the racks.  Nice! Did you enjoy this post?  Do you like classic cars?  If so, how about taking a look around the rest of the UMPH site?  There's plenty of photos
