Dear FLICKR friends,

Our sad circumstances currently force me to take a big step back on FLICKR :-(

I will try at least to post one photo and replies on my pictures per day :-)

I'm terribly sorry I don't have time to post comments on someone else's photos :-(

We get over our problems, but it will take more time and effort as thought, unfortunately.

I want to thank you all for your support, in whatever way ☺☺! It certainly helps us ☺☺!

But despite everything, but very important, ENJOY my friend(s) ♫♪

Special:

- The body, based on Typ 3 platform (VW 1500/1600) and for that called „große Karmann-Ghia“ / „big Karmann-Ghia“ in Germany, was restyled by Sergio Sartorelli from Carrozzeria Ghia SpA, Turin - Italy, but built by Karmann in Osnabrück - Germany.

- The Typ 34 was the flagship model of the entire Volkswagen line. It was the most expensive Volkswagen available (handcrafted body), the fastest, and the most luxurious (built-in fog lights, cigar lighter, electric clock, locking steering column, front & rear vent windows, variable wiper controls and luxurious interior).

- Initially, this would replace the original Type 14 Karmann Ghia, but later it was decided to assemble both types at the same time.

- Sales went bad because Type 34, nicknamed “Razor-Edge Ghia” in the UK, was almost as expensive as a Porsche 356 and it was not offered officially in the USA. But nowadays the USA has the largest number of known Typ 34’s Karmann Ghia’s left in the world (400 of the total 1,500 (officially registered) to 2,000 or so remaining.

- Currently, less than 1500 are worldwide registered at the “VW Type 34 Karmann Ghia Registry”, San Diego, California - USA.

- Production figures from Convertibles differences, but it is very likely that 12 vehicles (prototypes and zero-series) were built at Karmann in Osnabrück. Some sources mention 17 prototype units.

- Lorenz Karosserie GmbH, Wetter an der Ruhr, Northrhein Westfalen - Germany converted Coupé’s into Convertibles on customer request. There should have been about 20 Lorenz Convertibles.

Shamanka Rock (Cape Burkhan) is a famous two-peaked rock formation made of marble and limestone, covered in red lichen, located on Olkhon Island near the village of Khuzhir. It is one of the nine sacred sites of Asia, a legendary place of power where, according to legend, a spirit—the master of the island and all of Lake Baikal—lives in a cave.

Coffee Break at the oldtimer event in Soest - The Netherlands

- The car looks like a Citroën 2CV, but this "coffee shop" is registered as a 1980 Citroën Acadiane with a 435cc / 29 bhp engine, which is strange, because all Acadiane's had the 602cc engine.

Special:

- The 32 is basically an improved 600/32 with a bigger and more powerful engine and was redesigned by Johan van der Brugghen (W. van den Brink designed it original in 1955).

- The body was re-styled by Giovanni Michelotti.

- DAF was the first car to have a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) system - the innovative DAF Variomatic: a continuously variable gearbox transmission with an automatic two-stage centrifugal clutch in drum (with "het pientere pookje" - "the smart gear stick").

- An interesting feature: putting the car in reverse reversed the entire drive system. This enabled the vehicle, in theory, to reach the same top speed in reverse as forward.

- Advantage: it was the only small, affordable car with automatic transmission.

- Disadvantage: because the car had an unsportsmanlike image, it had often an "image" for the elderly or disabled people.

- The Series 32 was available as this 2-door Coach, as 2-door Panel Van, as 2-door Estate Wagon and as 2-door Pick-Up.

- They were only assembled in Eindhoven - The Netherlands.
