Karmann Ghia with looks and oomph!

If you ask us to be terribly honest, we'll have to admit that in the past we have never particularly liked the VW Karmann Ghia. Oh, it's a good car, no problem, but when your editor was young they were seen as dressed-up Beetles and therefore to be dismissed as not being a 'classic car'. Yet, as time goes by, the Karmann Ghia has grown on us and today we really do like it for what is... a very nice looking car that has it's very own band of followers. And quite right they are! The 1971 Coupe seen here will be offered by H&H during their auction on February 26. It has had only four owners from new and comes with the later 1.6-litre 60bhp engine. Not only a 'looker', but also a 'mover'! Check it out, it's lot number 75.
