Description:

1963 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia

A beautifully styled early Volkswagen Karmann Ghia coupe, finished in Blue and showing an indicated 25,373 miles. This left-hand-drive example showcases the elegant Italian-influenced design that set the Karmann Ghia apart from other Volkswagens of its era.



Powered by a 1.2-litre air-cooled petrol engine paired with a manual transmission, the Karmann Ghia delivers simple, reliable motoring wrapped in one of the most timeless shapes of the 1960s. With its flowing body lines and understated chrome detailing, this model remains one of the most attractive classics to emerge from the Volkswagen stable.



Volkswagen Karmann Ghia Model History

Introduced in 1955, the Volkswagen Karmann Ghia was the result of a collaboration between German coachbuilder Karmann and Italian design house Ghia. Built on Beetle mechanicals, it combined proven Volkswagen reliability with hand-finished bodywork and elegant styling that appealed to buyers seeking something more refined than the standard Beetle. By the early 1960s, the Karmann Ghia had established itself as a fashionable and aspirational car, popular with artists, designers and enthusiasts alike. Today, early examples like this 1963 coupe are highly regarded for their purity of design and classic proportions, making them enduring collector favourites.
