The Type 14 Karmann Ghia (1956-1974) was initially available as a coup, with the convertible, such as the model seen in the listing, coming a year later. With public reaction to the Type 14 exceeding expectations, more than 10,000 were sold in its first production year. The car combined the chassis and mechanical elements of the Type 1 and Type 3 VW Beetle with hand-shaped and built bodywork, resulting in a time-consuming process usually practised by higher-end manufacturers.Our vendor, Jim, purchased this 1971 Karmann Ghia via us as an unfinished project almost a year and a half ago. Since then, Jim has reassembled the jigsaw and added many new parts to put this classic VW back on the road and reassuringly comes with a current and long MOT valid until the 13th of July 2026. **** VEHICLE DETAIL **** We've written a longer and detailed description about this vehicle on our website that will have all of your burning questions answered.
