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.

Recent accessories found
Here are a couple of accessories i found recently for the car.
The coco mats are original ones from the 60s made specifically for a type 3 62 Ghia and still carry the original labels. They are faded where they have been folded and exposed to the sun - i am hoping to dye them back to near the original colour - any helpful tips gratefully accepted.
The Hella switch goes in-line between the speed and speedo cable. It activates the reversing light when you put the car in reverse - simple but effective.
