Originally focused on the restoration of my November 1961 built (1962 model year) Type 3 Karmann Ghia (343) I have now extended the blog to cover the ongoing ownership of my 1964 built (1965 model year) RHD type 3 Karmann Ghia (344) purchased in 1982.

A 1962 Type 3 Ghia for sale in South Africa
Tony Smith from Pretoria in South Africa is selling his 1962 Type 3 Ghia. He has fully restored it including a full respray and is looking for 65,000.00 South African Rand. This is roughly £4,500 or US $8,500 if I have got the price and conversion rates right then it looks to be excellent value for such an early car. The photo shows that the headlight trim rings are missing, these European style ones are readily available in reproduction form from Karmann Ghia Ersatzteile service in Germany (great supplier www.karmannghia.de)at 88 euros each. Over riders come up frequently on e-bay as well.
Please check direct with Tony for further details and information at the e-mail address below.
