It's not a Porsche, but...

Post by KS »

...it might as well be. This Karmann Ghia belongs to a good friend (and fellow DKP club member) of mine and the advert is a lesson in how to sell your car on BAT. Check the photos - and then check the videos (especially the driving one). Gorgeous car in every respect. Wish I had the money to buy it...

That is one lovely ghia. They should have all left the factory like that.

It'll be interesting as there are two bidders going head to head. It ought to make $50k+, and should be $60K, but hard to say in the current market - also relatively few on BAT fully understand cars like this. The one guy's comments about the engine is so out of date, for example.

It's sold for $47,100 (roughly £33,500) and is coming to the UK. Somebody got a bargain...Sadly not me.

You lucky, lucky boy! I had an e-mail from Dustin this morning telling me that 'Monty the dog' had won! :lol:

You won't be disappointed...
