Just when I thought I’d seen every single old Volkswagen in northern Thailand, I came across this “new” VW.

A best-seller station wagon
This model is called the “Variant.” (In the US, it was called the “Squareback,” to differentiate it from the 2 other models in the Type 3 line – the “Notchback” and the “Fastback.” ) This type of car is more commonly known as a station wagon or estate car.
The “Variant” was manufactured not only in Germany but also in Brazil, where it became the biggest-selling Type 3 car in the country. And somehow, one of those cars made it all the way to Southeast Asia.
Red, white, and blue … forever
The body of this old VW was in superb shape, partly owing to a recent paint job. However, I peeked inside, and even the upholstery, the dashboard, and the interior trim were in excellent condition. And I love the way the red wheels match the red interior.

If the engine is also in great shape, this car might continue to run forever. Maybe longer.
