1969 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia Cabriolet for sale

Current customer rating: current rating for this car(2.1) based on 251 votes
The original invoice for this Karmann states it was sold new to a lady called Zola Lynch. of Midland. Michigan on the 27th of August 1969. Great name.

Some years later it landed on these shores. and was sold as a project car. for £8000. in 2004.

The Karmann Ghia Centre. in Hemel Hempstead. undertook the restoration work. The work comprised a colour change to VW Racing Green. a complete retrim in green with tweed. new black vinyl roof. rechroming of all brightwork. and the fitting of a Blaupunkt “ Frankfurt” radio.

Thereafter. in 2008. a new 1600cc twin port engine was fitted.

In all. close to £20. 00 has been expended upon this Karmann.

The net result is truly stunning. A prettier car would be hard to find. The Karmann Ghia is a hard car to pigeonhole. as it had no direct competitor. other than the Chevrolet Corvair or Renault Floride. and who has heard of that car?

Having just completed a 100 mile trip in this car. I can testify that she is a delight to drive. with enough go to make things fun. courtesy of the 1600cc twin port engine. with strong brakes and a very reassuring gearbox. Its about as cool as it gets.
