Arrivederc­i Ghia?

-

1972 VW Karmann Ghia Engine 1584cc/4-cyl/ohv Power 50bhp@4000rpm Torque 78lb ft@2800rpm Work since last report Engine oil changed for fresh fluid; gearbox topped up.

I’m a big fan of my Karmann Ghia – but I’ve recently put it up for sale. I’ve long lusted after owning a Porsche 911 of my own and the simple fact is that I need the money currently ‘tied up’ in the Ghia to have any chance of achieving that ambition. With the way air-cooled Porsche values have risen over the past five years – and look to have every chance of continuing to do so – the truth is that if I don’t take the plunge soon, I may miss my chance forever. We’ve had a great run together and I’ll always be glad that the Ghia was mine for even a short few years… but it is the time to part.

I’m looking for offers in the region of £8995 and I’d really like the car to go to someone who will use it and enjoy it as much as I have – if you think that could be you then please email me on the address at the bottom of the page.
