Volkswagen Type 3 1600 Fastback Tested - Just a Bigger Beetle?

Volkswagen really did try to get the most out of the Beetle concept, and the Type 3 was an attempt to enlarge the formula. It wasn't without success - 2.4 million sold - but VW would still go on to make the leap to front-wheel drive instead. But what is this bone stock (bar exhaust) Type 3 Fastback like to drive? Tested near Melbourne in early March 2020. HubNut goodies can be purchased at https://hubnut.org where you'll also find support options.
