1978 Volkswagen Beetle Karmann Convertible

Registration No: DGH 873S

Chassis No: 1582067215

Engine No: A5605627

Estimate: £13,000 - £17,00

The VW Beetle has seduced many a first-time buyer, collector and classic car enthusiast. And for obvious reasons; the parts network is huge and inexpensive, the ability to convert the base model into many different variants was always available and the cost of the car itself presented a gateway into classic car ownership. In fact, Wilhelm Karmann first applied himself into converting his own Beetle into the four-seat convertible we all know and love today.

This wonderful Beetle Karmann convertible was imported into the UK in 1989 and is offered in the desirable European specification. Stored in a dehumidified heated garage for many years until 2012 at which time it was extensively restored and professionally converted to right hand drive. Also completed was a comprehensive repaint to the coachwork in an eye-catching Florida blue. It sits on a set of beautiful 15-inch Fuchs alloy wheels and comes complete with a brand new mohair hood. In the last 12 months it has had an extensive service costing over £1,800 and is supplied with a valid MoT test certificate, various sundry invoices and the UK V5C registration document. This is a very well presented example and we are sure it will be huge amounts of fun for the new custodian in the coming summer months.

1972 VOLKSWAGEN KARMANN GHIA CONVERTIBLE

The Volkswagen Karmann Ghia was produced between 1955 and 1974, with some 360,000 coupes and over 80,000 cabriolets made. What is certain is that it was the most beautiful car ever produced by the BeetleMeisters, what is unclear is exactly how the car was designed and conceived. Certainly the initial idea was sparked by Dr Wilhelm Karmann, who was building the Beetle cabriolet, suggested to Ghia that a beetle-based sports car could be made and presented to VW for their approval.

Several people claim a stake in the concept of the car, in addition to the obvious triumvirate of VW in Wolfsburg, Karmann in Osnabruck and Ghia in Turin. What is assured however is that this elegant design, considered by many to be way ahead of its time, holds a firm place in automotive design classics and the hearts and minds of many enthusiasts and collectors around the world?

Coys are delighted to offer this stunning VW Karmann Ghia

Convertible in RHD with a manual transmission. This charming vehicle has had an extensive structural restoration in 2017 which can be seen in the fully documented portfolio of receipts and photos. Since then, the car has hardly been driven and kept in a heated garage when not in use. Few Ghias come up in a condition like this and this would certainly make a welcome addition to any serious collection.

We love these Karmann Ghias; beautiful looks, good German engineering and very easy to drive and to maintain. The ideal classic? We think so!
