He asked about a 4 door 1600 TL

1600 TL says Type 3.

4 door says Type 4.

So this must be one of the many hybird designs that VW do Brazil made 
for their home market. My guess is a Type 4 body with a smaller 
engine, either Type 1, 3, or 4 in it. Who knows, until we see a 
photo.

They made an almost unlimited variety of combo cars in those days, 
experimenting with mix/match from different design types.

I've even seen, and had my hands on, a Brazilian VW with a Rabbit 
body and a Type 1 engine in the rear. No grill in front and no 
storage space behind the back seat. I think it may have had a 
"Brasilia" nameplate. They used that nameplate on a variety of cars, 
seemingly all possible mixes of Type 3 and Type 4 parts, including 
Type 3 engines with alternators. All original (OE VW-Brazil) parts.
