1963 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia | Creech St Michael, Somerset

A 1963 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia, the Italian-styled coachbuilt car built on Beetle mechanicals. It is known for a low, smooth shape with hand-finished body panels, and for the air-cooled engine at the back. Volkswagen offered it as a stylish, practical 2+2 rather than a sports car. This car is blue with a grey interior and is in excellent condition. Its smooth curves catch the light cleanly, and the plain grey cabin keeps the look tidy in close-up shots. The 2+2 layout gives room for four. Photography, fashion and editorial work suit the clean lines, and a single strong blue sits well against most locations. Film, TV and music video set in the 1960s gain a shape that places the period at once, and events can use it for a stylish arrival. It also makes a graceful wedding or anniversary car. It is based in Creech St Michael, Somerset.
