SUMMARY

A well-restored example of the timeless Karmann Ghia Coupé.

DESCRIPTION

  • Delightfully restored Type 14 Karmann Ghia Coupe. The chassis and mechanicals of the Type 1 (Beetle) with styling by Ghia and hand-built bodywork by Karmann 
  • Imported from the US around 2008. Subject to a full restoration in 2015 and converted to right-hand drive
  • Appears to have been fully repainted and retrimmed with new brightwork
  • Attractively finished in a metallic cherry red with a really smart cream interior
  • From our vendor "Chrome is great, bodywork is great, floor pan is great. Good tyres. No signs (to my untrained eye) of any rust."
  • £2,300 of receipts dating from 2008 but mostly from 2015. No prior US history
  • Recently subject to a full VW inspection which found everything in order. MOT until May 2022
  • More than just "a Beetle in a Party Frock" these little Karmann Coupes have a classic late-fifties style and well-restored examples in good colours are always in demand
