1961 VW Karmann Ghia
Color: Cyan
Engine: 1600 Twin-port

The car is complete.
She drives really well.
The engine is sound and is serviced regularly by Berg Motor Spares.
Electronics was completely redone. Even her interior light works.
Her licence was renewed in May 2013.
She has front and back adjustable suspension.
A real show-stopper. She gets looks wherever she goes.

Ok,seems you know the car? Body work? Rust? Will it need a respray?

[Cogita]

haha, no Willie, that's the owner's words, He posted it on gumtree an hour ago. from what I've seen, that ghia looks great,just needs the side chrome beading. Pity you can't view the video i posted, its shows a nice walkthrough of that ghia.
