Description:

The VW Karmann Ghia Type14 was presented as a coupé in 1953 and was manufactured by Karmann in Osnabrück according to a design by the Italian company Ghia. The attractive convertible was launched in 1957. Decisive changes are the numerous reinforcements of the body, especially in the floor area. The top is of very high quality and sets standards in workmanship, material and quietness. It is almost completely flush with the body line and gives the Type 14 an extremely elegant appearance.

Total production Type 14 Cabriolets: 81,053 units

The Karmann Ghia was originally delivered to the USA and arrived in Denmark in 2005. There, the vehicle was frame-off restored over a period of three years without regard to cost and fitted with a performance-optimized, but contemporary, Ahnendorp-engine, which gives the Karmann driving characteristics comparable to a Porsche 356. The Karmann has been registered in Germany since 2014 and has had its second owner there since 2016. Due to the comparatively high costs of a complete restoration, only very few vehicles exist in such exceptional condition.
