The Appeal
Legendary for being one of the prettiest cars ever built, the Karmann Ghia really isn't far removed from its Beetle underpinnings. It's all in that perfectly sculpted bodywork, famously smoothed with English pewter and treated like fine art, combining that no-fuss German engineering with raw Italian design. A heady combination, and one that continues to carry a unique appeal quite unlike any other Volkswagen out there.
This 1971 example of the Karmann Ghia perfectly captures that handsome line - boasting a striking Maple Yellow livery and plenty of originality. Still carrying its matching numbers boxer engine, and recently imported to Europe, this car has had all duties and VAT paid - it's merely up to you to register it and take it to the road.
