Description

This Karmann Ghia originally came from the USA and was imported in 2016. The car was then completely restored over several years, during which extensive bodywork was carried out, the convertible top was partially renewed, the interior was completely refurbished and upholstered in fine leather, and all wear parts were replaced. The original engine was completely dismantled, reconditioned, and discreetly optimized to approximately 90 hp. Among other things, two Weber twin carburetors were installed for this purpose. In addition, a sports suspension was fitted and the braking system was upgraded to provide an all-round pleasant and safe driving experience. Every detail was lovingly refurbished. The car was subsequently painted in a silver metallic finish. Since the restoration, the car has driven approximately 5,000 km. A total of more than €80,000 was invested in the vehicle. All modifications are officially registered, and the vehicle has historic registration plates. This is therefore a rare opportunity to acquire an almost perfectly restored vehicle that in its current condition appears significantly higher quality than when originally delivered and, thanks to its performance upgrade, provides a pleasant driving experience at all times. Comprehensive photographic documentation of the restoration is available.
