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)
“So in Jamaica it is the aim of everybody to talk English, act English and look English. And that last specification is where the greatest difficulties arise. It is not so difficult to put a coat of European culture over African culture, but it is next to impossible to lay a European face over an African face in the same generation.”
—Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)
“Grandparents can be role models about areas that may not be significant to young children directly but that can teach them about patience and courage when we are ill, or handicapped by problems of aging. Our attitudes toward retirement, marriage, recreation, even our feelings about death and dying may make much more of an impression than we realize.”
—Eda Le Shan (20th century)
