1969 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia | Cambridge, Cambridgeshire

The Volkswagen Karmann Ghia is the Italian-styled car built on Beetle mechanics, with a hand-finished body. It is known for its low, smooth shape and the easy, air-cooled character underneath. This 1969 example shows both. This car is finished in Beige with a brown interior, a warm, earthy pairing that sits well beside 1960s colours. It has been restored in full and is in excellent condition. It is left-hand drive: the driver sits on the kerb side, which gives a continental look in shot, and the front passenger steps out on the road side. Its soft curves and muted colour suit advertising, photography, fashion and editorial work, where a calm tone lets clothes and products stand out. Promotional shoots, music videos, and film and TV sets in the 1960s or early 1970s gain a period car with continental flavour. Weddings and private celebrations are a brief fit too. The car is based in Cambridge, Cambridgeshire.
