WBF 404J
1971 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia.
Classics Central auction, Bedford Autodrome -
"Pretty as a picture, this sensational right hand drive Karmann Ghia demonstrates a pleasingly high level of originality, especially its interior, whilst benefitting from a first-class paint finish and superb brightwork all-around.
Finished in “top hat” specification of black roof and white body over a black interior, the details are really what make this example stand out. From the “Karmann Ghia” script above the original-fitment Volkswagen pushbutton radio to the correct chromed wheel embellishers, the overall attention to detail on this motor car is exceptional.
A view of the underside of this car (below) demonstrates just how well-preserved and thoughtfully cared for this car has been. A UK-delivered car with a date of first registration of 8 February 1971, this is probably an unrepeatable time capsule of classic 1970s grand tourer motoring – an era of the exciting and the debonair.
The lovely Karmann Ghia shows just 54,500 miles and carries on its history file every MoT issued since 2006-2015, and is sold with an MoT to January 2017."
Estimate £12,000 to £14,000. Sold for £11,000.
