South African Models
Production of the T3 continued in South Africa until 2002. The South Africa T3's post 1991 had a face lift which included bigger windows all round and a different dashboard. The wasserboxer engines were replaced with 5-cylinder Audi engines as well as the VW 4-cylinder engines. The 5-cylinder T3's came out in 2.5, 2.3 and 2.6 fuel injected variations along with 5-speed transmissions and 15" rims as standard. Larger ventilated front disc brakes to accommodate the power of the 5-cylinder engines. Near the end of production the top of the range known as the "exclusive" incorporated rear facing seats and a folding table in the back of the vehicle. South African T3 also have a grill and headlight combination not found any where else in the world. The South African specific T3's became known as Big Window T3's due to their larger windows.

Famous quotes containing the words south, african and/or models:
“While the South is hardly Christ-centered, it is most certainly Christ-haunted.”
—Flannery O’Connor (1925–1964)
“The white man regards the universe as a gigantic machine hurtling through time and space to its final destruction: individuals in it are but tiny organisms with private lives that lead to private deaths: personal power, success and fame are the absolute measures of values, the things to live for. This outlook on life divides the universe into a host of individual little entities which cannot help being in constant conflict thereby hastening the approach of the hour of their final destruction.”
—Policy statement, 1944, of the Youth League of the African National Congress. pt. 2, ch. 4, Fatima Meer, Higher than Hope (1988)
“The parents who wish to lead a quiet life I would say: Tell your children that they are very naughty—much naughtier than most children; point to the young people of some acquaintances as models of perfection, and impress your own children with a deep sense of their own inferiority. You carry so many more guns than they do that they cannot fight you. This is called moral influence and it will enable you to bounce them as much as you please.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
