Welcome to my Auction of my beloved
KARMANN GHIA CONVERTIBLE
HPI CLEAR
Due to a sudden change in my personal circumstances. and an agonising couple of weeks of deliberation. I've decided to sell my boyhood dream car.
VERY LOW RESERVE FOR A CAR OF THIS QUALITYShe drives like a dream and feels very solid on the road with a nice tight front end
She's was originally from California. so she's LHD.
The overall condition of the body is very good. but she could definitely benefit from a respray.
The floor pans appear nice and solid as do the doors. sills. nose. bonnet. boot and wings. however this is a 40 year old car and there is the odd small patch rust here and there but nothing major at all. If anyone wants to me to supply pictures. I am more than happy to do so.
The mohair roof is virtually brand new. with no rips or tears anywhere. enefiting from a drop down glass rear window.
The body appears to be the '71 model and benefits from a nicer looking dash. smaller rear lights and better steering wheel.
All the seats and door panels have been re upholstered in a nice beige leatherette.
The car drives extremely well. starts first time every time. nbsp;and recently went on a 300 mile trip cruising comfortably at 80 mph ( sorry 70 officer ) on the motorway. and I've been told by the previous owner that the engine is a 1641cc unit and has been in the car for about 12 months.
The transmission is also excellent.
She is very steady on the road and the steering is excellent so all in all top notch running gear.
The bad points are
The speedometer and fuel gauge are both working well. but the  clock will need reconditioning.
The engine lid release mechanism is missing and a key lock has been put in instead.
there's a seal missing on the drivers door
seal missing in engine bay
The 8 spoke empis aren't the best. but the tyres are all decent


It wouldn't take a lot to bring this car back to showroom condition. so grab a bargain
VERY LOW RESERVE FOR A CAR OF THIS QUALITY
Any inspection welcome and I will answer all questions asked.


I have a brand new unopened set of american style stainless steel bumpers with the towel rail over riders I am willing to sell to winning bidder
If you have feedback of less than 10 please contact me before bidding.
The winner will have to pay a paypal non refundable deposit of £250 at the end of the auction and the balance must be cleared before the car can be driven away.
