1970 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia
Highlights
- Technical inspection valid until May 2029
- Superbly presented inside and out
- Reportedly running and driving well
The Appeal
Introduced in 1956, the Karmann Ghia is often seen as ‘The Sporty Beetle’. That’s not a detriment to the car - it was fairly accurate. The humble Beetle’s reliable running gear was packed into a simply exceptional Carrozzeria Ghia styling package. The bodywork was hand-crafted by Karmann and smoothed out with English Pewter to create a simply exceptional, streamlined and, crucially, lightweight car that could hold its own pretty nicely on the road.
This example comes to us in smart condition and fine fettle. The technical inspection runs until May 2029, so it's ready to be enjoyed in Denmark for years to come. For those seeking a handsome example of this achingly pretty classic Volkswagen, this would be a great one to consider.
