1970 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia Coupe
Vendor supplied images
Highlights
- Impressive two-tone Ghia in a rich blue and white livery
- Recently re-engined with a period-accurate 1600 cc flat-four
- Belgian registration
The Appeal
The Karmann Ghia is a perfect adage for the importance of aesthetics. The second car that Volkswagen ever built, it was practically identical to the Beetle mechanically - but you wouldn’t know it. The spectacular Karmann handbuilt bodywork may well make it a candidate for one of the most beautiful mid-century cars ever built.
This example is a driver’s car through and through, having been owned and regularly used by an enthusiast for some ten years. It’s recently been re-engined, and now comes to us ready and waiting for its new owner.
