Description
A Volkswagen Karmann Ghia Convertible is an incredibly fun classic. With the most diverse and exclusive (sports) cars in our collection, a Karmann Ghia like this one is simply fantastic to turn the key, drive to a restaurant, and enjoy a delightful dinner for two. That is the feeling we get with this Volkswagen.
The Volkswagen Karmann Ghia is a classic car that offers a perfect blend of style and function. This Karmann Ghia has an engine with a displacement of 1584 cc. Unlike the machine-welded body of the Beetle, the Karmann Ghia is handcrafted, and the body panels are seamlessly welded together. This ensures a premium finish, matching the stylish design and overall appearance of this Volkswagen.
We can say that the Karmann Ghia has a unique history. The model was designed by the Italian firm Ghia and built by the renowned German coachbuilder Karmann. A rather remarkable combination. This car was positioned as a halo car within the Volkswagen lineup and beautifully demonstrates the progress in design of post-war cars. The handcrafted body and high-quality materials justified the higher price of this model compared to the Volkswagen Beetle.
This Volkswagen is not only historically important in the evolution of the post-war automotive industry but also a good investment for the future. Classic cars like this are highly sought after. Although the Karmann Ghia is designed as a 2+2 coupe, it offers sufficient space and comfort, making it both practical and stylish.
Our Karmann Ghia is just the way we like it: restored and overhauled with attention to detail and in excellent condition. Additionally, this Karmann Ghia has been owned by the same owner for 30 years. The combination of high-quality condition and long-term ownership is rare!
When we talk about restoration and overhaul work, opinions on these definitions can sometimes vary. This is certainly not the case with this example. Here we are talking about a ‘bare-metal’ restoration, where the entire car was completely restored and overhauled. Take a look at the photos and judge for yourself. We admit: the color also contributes to the delightful appearance of this Karmann Ghia; this color is called Ontario Light Blue, and the car looks great with the blue interior. The car is also equipped with a high-quality soft top of Sonnenland.
As mentioned, the body has been restored to very good standards. With beautiful paintwork, chrome in concours condition, and the right wheels, tires, and details, it is a car in great condition. The interior is just as beautiful, with stunning blue upholstery and great details. The engine of the Karmann Ghia is in optimal condition; the engine sounds great and is excellently maintained. With the car, we provide a detailed restoration report, describing the work with great detail and enthusiasm.
These are fantastic cars. With this convertible, you step in with a smile and step out even happier. Not convinced? We invite you to visit us for a viewing; Gallery Aaldering has been active since 1975. We also have many years of experience in exporting our vehicles worldwide.
