The Attractions
Among the most desirable models of the classic Beetle are those cleverly converted into convertibles by the legendary German coachbuilder Karmann. This modification made the popular 'people's car' more fun and exclusive, and the high quality of the work meant that they were among the most usable and reliable convertibles of their era.
This Beetle 1303 Karmann Cabriolet from 1974 is particularly beautiful and pleasingly original. Its canvas roof appears to be in excellent condition and the seller shows us that it still folds properly. This car has also recently received suspension work, with the installation of new, reconditioned shock absorbers and the seller informs us that it works properly and drives well.
This car is registered in Italy and complete with overhaul. Import would be very easy for buyers throughout Europe.
