Description

Perry Andersson was a well-known race car mechanic from the 1960s to the 1980s, working with drivers such as Per Eklund and Björn Waldegård, among others. He gained further fame through his company, Perrys-Motor, which specialized in tuning Porsches in Kolbäck. Perry himself participated in many historic rallies, and this car was purchased and prepared in 1990. VW and Porsche were his specialties, and he built this car with as many new parts as possible, he has mentioned. The engine has been rebuilt and lightly tuned according to regulations, and the interior has been stripped down with a roll cage, sports seats, and four-point harnesses, among other modifications. The car participated in about ten historic rallies in Sweden, Finland, Scotland, and England from 1992 to 1995. Afterward, it was stored away but brought out and driven to the vehicle inspection in the fall of 2002 (at 12230 km) and ten years later in 2012 (at 12250 km) The current owner purchased the car in the fall of 2012 for their car collection. It has been exhibited, among other places, at the Arvika Car Museum during their rally car exhibition.

The condition is very good. The car has never been rusted or involved in an accident. During the 1990 restoration, the front and rear fenders were replaced, and all wear parts in the chassis and brakes were renewed. The car was lowered, and new shock absorbers, anti-roll bars, additional lights, and more were installed. The engine was tuned to approximately 100 horsepower, and the gearbox and clutch were strengthened. The car performed well in the rallies it participated in, both in terms of performance and appearance. It is still in equally fine condition, but there are stone chips and minor scratches from driving on gravel roads.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    Starts easily and runs smoothly with good transmission and brakes. The engine has great power, acceleration, and sounds great, making it a joy for VW enthusiasts to hear and drive. For inquiries and viewings, contact Fahlke Classic Cars in Åmål to schedule an appointment at 0761022063. The car will need to be taken for inspection before delivery as it is not registered or inspected as a race car. Competition documents and a logbook are not included.

  • Interior condition:

    Cleared interior. Intact and nice as it is. No remarks.

  • Exterior condition:

    Unusually fine bodywork and paint. Beautiful in every detail. Plexiglass windows on the sides. Rally tires are mounted.

  • General condition:

    A rally classic that is as enjoyable as a summer car, hobby car, or fine car. It is in exceptionally good condition, with no significant remarks, no notable rust, and no damages. It runs very well but may need a service as it has been scarcely used in the last 25 years. During the renovation in 1990, the trip meter was reset, and the car has now traveled 12260 km. According to information, the car had driven approximately 150 000 km before the renovation.

Facts about the model

When production of the new VW model, the Type 3 / 1500, began in August 1961, it first came as a sedan model (Notchback), followed by the estate (Variant) in February 1962. The coupe version TL (also known as the Fastback) arrived in August 1965 – at the same time, the 1600 engine made its debut. Volkswagen's intention was for the coupe to replace the Notchback, but in several markets, the sedan was preferred, and all models coexisted until production ceased in 1973.

The Type 3 received a facelift in 1970 with a longer front, larger bumpers, and bigger taillights.

The background to the Type 3 was that, following the success of the Type 1, Volkswagen wanted to expand their model range with a slightly larger car. The basic structure with an air-cooled boxer engine mounted in the rear was retained, but the Type 3 offered more space and improved comfort. Similar to the Type 1, the car was constructed with a floor pan onto which the body was mounted, and the suspension was managed using torsion bars. The 1.5-liter engine, also found in the Type 1, underwent some modifications, such as lowering its height by relocating the cooling fan. This allowed for a small luggage compartment on top of the engine, where the Type 1 only had a storage compartment behind the rear seat backrest. Unlike the Type 1, the engine and rear suspension were mounted on a subframe that had rubber bushings against the body, reducing vibrations and improving comfort.

Two years after its debut in 1961, the S-model was introduced with twin carburetors. The Type 3, 1500 S cars quickly gained popularity in rallying and later in folk racing (thanks to their reliability, good weight distribution, and durability), which means that very few examples remain today. Most met their end on the racetracks. Therefore, finding a well-preserved rally car that has survived is rare and of historical interest.
