1969 Volkswagen Variant Fastback from Pakistan - Comments

1. Rings changed.

2. Minor repair in the gear box.

I like Volkswagen because of its good engineering design, reliability and robustness. My Volkswagen Fastback has two Solex carburettors with a 1600 CC engine.

The car is quick and smart. My father bought it and we have found this car very reliable, just like a member of our own family!

Thank you for an informative yet friendly appraisal. It made my day.

I am interested in buying a Variant 1969 with dual carburetors and (I guess) an 1.6 engine.

Could anyone of you tell me about the economy of this car?

How many miles or kilometers per gallon may I expect??

Thank you, very much.

Volkswagen last models you will find in Internet by www.volkswagen.de. I am a German and since 2007 living in Lahore. I used in Germany for many years cars from Volkswagen and still I own a Mobil home from Volkswagen posted in Germany which I use every year for travel in Europe.

I heared that Volkswagen will offer their cars also in Pakistan beginning with a showroom in Karachi. Any new car in the market in Germany has a minimum standard of 4 airbags (my last car a POLO had 6. It has ABS and SSP, 3 point belts also in the back (like Suzuki Liana, which I bought here). Many electronic functions like GPS and bord computer. Highest quality in construction to safe driver and passengers in case of accidents. New car model became all very often crash tested. Try to import a right-hand-model and you will be satisfied till the end of your life with it.
