Description

If there is one oldtimer you can be certain is rare, it’s the Karmann-Ghia type 34. These beauties were bought, used and thrown away - but nowadays they’re back to turning heads on the road and it’s hardly believable how handsome these vehicles are. The elongated rear, the elaborate ornamentations and the terrific, well-arranged interior evoke nostalgia for the 60’s. Our Karmann-Gia sport coupé stands in remarkably good condition and feels simply wonderful to drive. It was initially registered in Germany in October of 1968 and found its way into the Karmann Ghia collection of a married couple (the Deurings) in Southern Germany. In 2000, a gentleman born in 1943 from North Rhine Westphalia bought the coupé in collaboration with a master mechanic he was friends with, and together they completely rebuilt the vehicle. These gentlemen were so obsessed with detail that they took their time until Spring of 2003 to complete the restoration and re-register the car. After the man’s death in 2014, his daughter overtook ownership of the coupé, and it is registered to her name to this day. In July of 2019, the engine was completely worked over and has since driven a leisurely 1,000 kilometres.

The engine is outfitted with zenith carburettors by Porsche and runs with Okrasa heads, an Öttinger type main shaft and a SCAT 1025 camshaft, which facilitates a noticeable increased efficiency. The driving experience feels fantastic, and thanks to the Abarth type exhaust system, the air-conditioned opposed-cylinder engine sounds sensational and incomparable. The invoice of the engine workover is available to us, as well as the old motor vehicle registration certificate as well as several past Technical Inspection Agency reports.

Interior equipment includes:

• radio
• retractable roof
• Abarth type exhaust system
• original instruction manual
