1968 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia Type 34 Razoredge | East Dean and Friston, East Sussex

The Karmann Ghia Type 34 is the angular coupe built on Volkswagen's Type 3 platform. In Britain it became the Razor Edge, named for the sharp crease running the length of its body. It was the upmarket Volkswagen of the 1960s, with a roomier cabin and richer equipment than the Beetle-based Karmann Ghia. This 1968 car is finished in Beige with a Cream interior, a soft period pairing that lets the clean, flat-sided shape read clearly. It has a 1.6-litre petrol engine and seats four. The pale colouring gives stylists a neutral base to dress around. The crisp 1960s profile suits period photography, fashion and editorial shoots, and film and television work set in the decade. Music videos and event displays gain a Volkswagen with a different outline to the usual rounded shapes. Weddings and personal hires get a calm, comfortable coupe. The car is based in East Dean and Friston, East Sussex.
