The T3 was available in a variety of body styles, including panel van, pickup truck, minibus, and camper van. It was powered by a range of air-cooled and water-cooled four-cylinder engines, ranging from 1.6 to 2.1 liters in displacement. It also came with a variety of transmissions, including manual and automatic.
One of the unique features of the T3 was its front-wheel drive configuration, which allowed for a lower load floor and more interior space. It also had a larger and more comfortable interior compared to previous generations of the Transporter.
The T3 was well received by the public and became a popular choice for families, small businesses, and camper enthusiasts. It was known for its reliability and versatility, and many T3s are still on the road today.
In addition to its commercial success, the T3 also had a cult following among enthusiasts and was the subject of various modifications and conversions. It was also used as a base for various camper van conversions, such as the iconic Westfalia camper.
