Karmann Ghia

Post by sng45 »

I bought this on "Bring a Trailer" in May - due to boat getting stuck in the Suez Canal / World situation etc it was delayed in shipping and finally arrived about ten days ago. Absolutely fantastic car, like brand new but better !

Not UK registered yet so only driven it round the village a couple of times, drives really well and looking forward to using it when the sun shines

Must be one of the best around. That engine should give 1000's of smiles per hour

Sorry it's for sale so soon, but whoever buys it will be a happy man. Just wish it could be me. ;)

I seemed to get up to seventeen cars and didn't really drive it - I think 30 miles in total ! ( I'm really into my Alfas at the moment.)

It's an absolutely wonderful car but almost too perfect to use, incredible engineering and quality of finish. If it doesn't sell I won't be too upset, I'll just sit and look at it !

I had a good look over it at Goodwood and it is absolutely stunning!
The force is strong in this one ......
