Introduction
Darren Rungasamy
Furnished with elegant Italian styling and proven German engineering, the Karmann Ghia is one of the most distinctive cars ever made.
Karmann was an independent specialist car builder, who became best known for their work with Volkswagen. Styled by Italian design house Carrozzeria Ghia, the Karmann-Ghia used the floor pan, running gear and flat-four engine from the Beetle. It became the focal point of the VW lineup when it was displayed in a sophisticated and curved hand-welded 2+2 coupe body. Even though the design was first used in 1955, its delicate contours and proportions have endured. Known internally as the Type 14, later versions were improved in line with the 1970s Beetles, incorporating better safety, improved comfort and fittings along with more powerful engines. It still appealed to those who were taken by the aesthetics and the proven build quality, durability and reputation of Volkswagen - it remains the ultimate evolution of the much-loved air-cooled VW family.
This car comes to market after ~3 years ownership, imported via Japan in 2019. It is a solid and cleanly presented example, finished in white with a black vinyl interior. Over £9,000 have been spent in the current ownership since 2022, including a reconditioned engine, dashboard refit, steering and clutch work to name a few. Ready and raring to go, this car is begging for a new owner to enjoy in the dry months ahead.
