The Appeal
Karmann transformed the humble Beetle into a high end, hand-crafted coupe with such gorgeous styling that it remained in production, virtually unchanged, through three decades.
Later cars gained more power, lightly updated aesthetics with more luxurious cabins. This is one of them, a 1600cc 1970 car imported to the Netherlands from Columbia in 2005 and with just three owners since.
It is a restoration project that is very original and unmolested, making it a great 'blank canvas' for the enthusiast buyer. It will require some mechanical recommissioning.
