The design came from Italian coachbuilder Ghia, while German coachbuilder Karmann of Osnabrück was responsible for production. The combination resulted in a car that drove like a Volkswagen but looked like an Italian sports car. In 1957, the Cabriolet joined the range, featuring a beautifully shaped, fully retractable soft top that preserved the elegant lines of the coupé. This 1971 Cabriolet is powered by the well-known air-cooled 1600cc four-cylinder boxer engine, coupled to a 4-speed manual transmission: a drivetrain that has more than proven its reliability and gives this open-top Volkswagen a wonderfully relaxed character. This particular car has been extensively restored, and a comprehensive photo report of the restoration is available, allowing you to see exactly which work has been carried out. Light yellow Volkswagen Karmann Ghia Cabriolet for sale The light yellow paintwork suits this Karmann Ghia exceptionally well and highlights the soft, flowing curves of the Ghia bodywork, from the distinctive front end with its round headlights to the elegantly rising rear wings. The generous chrome details, elegant bumpers, trim strips and gleaming hubcaps provide a beautiful contrast with the soft body colour, while the black mohair soft top finishes the exterior perfectly. Inside, the black theme continues: black upholstery with subtle piping on the seats and black door panels give the interior a clean and sporty appearance, while the warm wooden dashboard provides a stylish contrast. Behind that dashboard you will find a rare Empi VDM Coach steering wheel with a wooden rim, a sought-after accessory that perfectly complements the wood trim, while the centre console houses a classic Becker Avus radio. The combination of the fresh, sunny yellow exterior and the dark, warmly appointed interior makes this Karmann Ghia a distinctive and stylish summer classic. Soft top down, boxer engine behind you and enjoying every kilometre: that is exactly what this Volkswagen was made for. Want to buy a Volkswagen Karmann Ghia Cabriolet?
