VW Karmann Ghia Convertible - Original Dubin Reg

Sold pending collection Volkswagen Karmann Ghia Convertible – Rare LHD Project (With Incredible Provenance) An incredibly rare opportunity to acquire a Volkswagen Karmann Ghia Convertible project with a fascinating slice of Irish history. This car was previously owned by the late showbusiness impresario and former chairman of the RTÉ Authority, Fred O'Donovan. The car is famously pictured parked in the carport of his modern Portmarnock home in a feature for Irish Householder & Gardener magazine (August 1972), which was recently posted by the Limerick Classic & Vintage Car Club. This is a 1966 model car that was placed onto an older 1962 Dublin registration (old logbook available), which was a common practice in Ireland at the time. I purchased it from a deceased estate where a restoration was started but unfortunately never completed. The body shell has been completely stripped, media-blasted, and coated in primer. It is a blank canvas but requires extensive restoration and structural welding. Assume any parts not explicitly listed below are missing. What is Included in the Sale: LHD body shell, driver and passenger doors, front boot lid, and rear engine decklid. Original, highly sought-after convertible roof frame and folding mechanism. Interior rear seats, plus one front seat. one front seat missing. Gearbox, fuel tank, and wiring loom. Some miscellaneous trim (I suspect mostly incomplete). Early Karmann Ghia Cabriolets are exceptionally rare and almost never come up for sale on the Irish market, when restored a €50,000 car. This is a brilliant, documented project for a serious collector or club enthusiast looking to bring a historic Irish car back to life. Phone Michael on 0874914022 - car is in Ballyshannon, Co.
