1972 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia | Newcastle upon Tyne, Tyne & Wear

A 1972 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia, the Beetle-based coupe in Italian-styled bodywork that Volkswagen offered as a stylish 2+2. It is liked for pairing a low, sleek shape with simple air-cooled mechanics, and its panels were shaped by hand. This car is finished in Blood Orange with a gloss-black roof and a black interior, and chrome detailing follows its curves. Its condition is excellent, and it seats four. The 1600cc air-cooled flat-four sits at the rear and gives the familiar Volkswagen sound of the period. The low roofline and bold colour make a graphic subject for advertising, fashion and editorial shoots, with the black roof adding contrast against the orange. Its period shape suits music videos and 1970s-set film and TV, and its smooth lines hold the eye as a display car at events. Weddings and personal hires are a good fit too. The car is based in Newcastle upon Tyne.
