There seems to be a spate of beautifully refinished Karmann Ghias for sale recently. I'm just calling attention to another work of art with one of, if not the most remarkable interiors I've seen:

http://www.karmannghiaforsale.com/

Other than apparently sharing a like for the color of the car, I'm not affiliated with this seller.

I never cease to be amazed at the price of cars in the UL - $29K is a lot of money for that car.

Yes, that's about right for a nice cab here in the UK. If you picked up a cab for less than 10k GBP ($20k) you'd expect a few issues to be sorted out.

A top Lowlight Cab would be $40-$50k...if the money is still out there.

BTW that cab has been on sale for quite a while...I remember seeing it advertised in the middle of last year so maybe the money's not out there anymore. Confused

So what you're telling me is that I could make a decent living sending cars to the europe! Awesome.

Is the market the same in Continental Europe?

Indeed...some do but with this economic slow down I wouldn't do it without finding out if the classic car market has been affected recently.

I know its not a convertible but I'd rather have Scots 65 Coupe for that kind of money.
