Dear All,

here you can see a rare W3 I already restored for a friend. Only two in Germany. One unrestored and this one from me.

All the best from Germany
Ralf

Fantastic work as usual Ralf. :thumbup:

You can do a calander with just your nice restorations in it next year.

I saw a few W1 and W2 models come through our dealership back in 71-72, but never saw a W3 model before. :geek:

Hi Guys,

the W3 is like I know only sold in Japan, Australia and New Zealand. They produce 1103 in 1972, 1728 in 1973 and 1599 in 1974 as W3A.
Both I got from USA and they came with US soldiers from Japan to USA.

All the best from Germany
Ralf
