Description
The Volkswagen Karmann Ghia is one of those cars that proves that automotive pragmatism can also have an elegant face. This model was created by combining three completely different approaches: German technical simplicity (Volkswagen), an Italian sense of design (Ghia), and precise coachbuilding from Osnabrück (Karmann). The result is a car that looks like a sports coupé, but beneath its elegant bodywork shares its technical foundation with the Beetle—and therefore also its mechanical reliability. The Karmann Ghia was never particularly fast, but it was a “stylish slowpoke” that won the hearts of passers-by rather than conquering racetracks. Its understated lines, chrome details, and hand-built body make it a collector’s gem that appeals more through emotion than driving performance. This particular 1973 example is a convertible with a 1. 6-litre engine, but it is certainly not factory standard. As part of a complete restoration carried out approximately three years ago, it received a new engine block, a reinforced crankshaft, new valves, special cylinder heads, an oil cooler, and two twin Weber carburettors, which give the engine a livelier character and improved throttle response. At the same time, it was fitted with a stainless-steel sports exhaust. The odometer was reset after the restoration and currently shows 6, 950 km. The bodywork underwent a complete restoration, including a new paint finish, and the car also received a new fabric convertible top. The front axle has been reinforced, contributing to improved stability, and the lights now switch on automatically—a practical detail that subtly modernises everyday use. And as the icing on the cake? This particular car was owned by the director of an authorised VW dealership in Dresden, which suggests that it had already received quality care in the past.
