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.

1969 model auto T34
Here is a photo of John Figg's Sept 68 Automatic. It is a really nice car, total rebuild before John bought it and with some nice personalised touches on it. It's also right hand drive, making it a one of the few RHD autos surviving.
In about 1984 I sold a 1968 auto on behalf of the widow of a guy who used to be connected to Doyle Dane & Bernbach. They were the advertising agency that did all the great 1960s VW ads. the car had been a gift from VW to the owner and it was in reasonably good running condition when I sold it on for the owner. The owner was Nigel Miller from the south of England, I think Croydon - are you still out there Nigel?
