Ownership & Provenance
Cars with this kind of story are becoming incredibly hard to find. Having remained with the same keeper for nearly four decades, this Ghia hasn’t been passed around or restored into something it never was it has simply been cared for and driven as intended.
Regular use is key with air-cooled Volkswagens, keeping mechanical components healthy and reliable.
Styled by Ghia in Italy and hand-assembled by Karmann in Germany, the Ghia blends sports-car looks with VW dependability. The flowing wings, slim pillars and delicate chrome details give it a presence far beyond its modest engine size.
The 1200cc motor delivers the authentic classic VW driving experience light, engaging, simple and charming.
