Lot 036: 1973 VOLKSWAGEN KARMANN GHIA COUPE

Finished in Saturn Yellow with black leatherette / PVC upholstery, this particular left-hand drive example is variously described by the vendor as being in "good" (1600cc engine, four-speed manual gearbox, electrical equipment, chassis), "good / very good" (paintwork), or "very good" (bodywork, wheels / tyres) condition. While, he rates the interior trim as "fair / original". Apparently supplied new to California, 'FRB 87L' is said to have remained with its first keeper until 1998 when it entered the current ownership via the Mansfield-based Karmann Ghia Motorworks. The recipient of "regular / annual servicing and maintenance by a specialist in Oxford", the coupe is stated to retain its "original bodywork and engine". Though, cosmetically it has been enhanced with refaced seats / door cards (1998) and a bare metal respray (2000). Believed but not warranted to have covered 108,095 miles from new, it is offered for sale with MOT certificate valid until September 2006 and road tax until December 2006. PLEASE NOTE: This vehicle has an MOT until September 2007.
