The History of the VW Passat.

[Peter Jones]

I'm currently putting a 1980 Passat back on the road. I think this was a special order, I've never seen another one like it here.

This is still a B1 but it's a transition model known sometimes as the "facelift" version.

Many similarities with the earlier Passats. These came off the Audi production line alongside the Audi 80s I believe.

Here's the Project Thread.

That must have been myself and the Little Beastie! Was it at Erindale? I have seen your RS wagon there before. Next time I will introduce myself.

Yup, Erindale it certainly was.

I was actually considering one of those new (or the Audi version) back in 1973/4, but ended buying a Celica. Mainly cos the ladies seemed to prefer the looks of the Celica ! In my defence I was but a callow youth at the time.

It would be good to say hello to a fellow forumite, so next time we can have a mini-GTG (unless it is the missus driving the RS, in which case she would react as if you are a nerd from outer space )

The bright yellow wagon sure is easy to see in a car park

Almost 2 years later I scanned in the German Passat brochure I have with the G60 in. I have the Variant brochure as well but it's not that different that I could be bothered scanning it too.

Haha, guilty too. I'm actually still a sillycar fan though. Have had 7 of them... so far... the youngest being an '86 ST162. Personal favourite is the RA28 "mustang back".

Hehe, bad habits never die...

VW's Passat is the largest car in their lineup.

Wouldn't that be the Phaeton?

[gav t]

hi guys i had several passats a long time ago and even raced a 76 2 door at barbagallo back in the early 90s
the were a great and very underrated will try and dig out some photos

No, the G60 engine was only applied to the Corrado. The engine that was unique to the Passat was the 4.0 litre W8.

It was fitted to the Passat see here http://www.vwwatercooled.org.au/foru...html#post53723

Sir, is it possible to give another link for the brochure of Passat syncro g60, because the above does not work to me.

Thank you very much!
