ABOUT THIS CAR

The VW Beetle Karman Convertible is a timeless classic that blends iconic design with open-air driving pleasure. Known for its distinctive rounded shape and cheerful character, the Beetle Karman Convertible offers a unique driving experience that captures the spirit of the 1960s and 70s. Its retractable soft-top roof allows for an effortless transition from a cozy enclosed cabin to a breezy, sunlit ride. The interior maintains a retro charm with modern conveniences, featuring comfortable seating, a simple yet functional dashboard, and an overall inviting atmosphere.

Under the hood, the VW Beetle Karman Convertible typically houses a reliable air-cooled engine, known for its durability and ease of maintenance. The car’s compact size and responsive handling make it a joy to drive, whether navigating city streets or cruising along scenic country roads. As a symbol of freedom and fun, the Beetle Karman Convertible continues to be a beloved choice for car enthusiasts and collectors alike, offering a blend of nostalgia and practicality that is hard to resist.

This particular example presents in excellent condition having undergone extensive restoration work in recent years. The car was originally imported from the USA in 1990 by a close friend of the current owner who engaged Volkswagon Marque experts Westside Motors to perform considerable restoration work, striping it back all the way to bare metal where required. This restoration is well documented with invoices and accompanied by an extensive photographic record. In 2007 this vehicle had a complete re-spray in bright white, to a high standard, by Paul Young Panel Craft. The current owner has maintained the car fastidiously and the history file contains recent invoices amounting to many thousands, helping to create the wonderful example of this marque we are offering today.
