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.

Quick VolksWorld 2011 update
Just back from the show where my 62 won one of the top 20 car prizes and where best in show was won by the amazing CSP drag racer. A big thanks to Ivan, Adrian and all the team at VolksWorld for a fantastic show; it was amazing to win an award at a show that is predominately focused on the custom scene and which is full of cars of such a high quality and finish that they take your breath away.
There were 7 T34s present, both Clive and Janet Richardson had their cars present, Steve Wright's car was there, Mark Poulton had his restored 68, resplendid in marathon Blue\dark blue with marathon wheels to give a take on what a car might have looked like if production had continued through to 1972. Mike and Dee Shaws car was also present along with my 62 and of course the CSP car.
Clive's car was used as a photo opportunity for show attendees who wanted to celebrate 50 years of the T3\34 by having their photo taken in the car. My car was featured on a revolving stand as part of the celebration of 50 years of the Type 3 model range with 2 other amazing T3s and also set amongst a collection of other fantastic T3s including Mark Poulton's car. More in a few days and here are a few photos meantime.
