1971 VOLKSWAGEN KARMANN GHIA CABRIOLET

After producing the people’s car for so many years VW had to improve their image and the Karmann Ghia was the solution.

Long noted for its exterior styling, the Karmann Ghia was designed with input from numerous individuals at Carrozzeria Ghia and was strongly influenced by Virgil Exner’s work, though all of its designers passed without a definitive individual attribution of the styling ever made.

The production ended in 1973, so this 1971 example was amongst the last derivative before the ghastly rubber bumpers were fitted on the final cars.

She lived in the USA until 1998 and then was bought and imported by a Brit whilst he was on his holiday using her for a couple of weeks instead of a boring Hertz hire car!

Finished in rare Willow green with black leather interior she escaped the rust issues affecting European cars.

She has only had light restoration whilst in the UK and was painted over 20 years ago but still in superb condition today, maintained well by the last owner for 12 years.

On the road, she impresses with a solid reliable feel only a VW can provide.

Supplied fully inspected, serviced with 12-month warranty.

1926 ASTON MARTIN S-TYPE SPORTS

EARLS COURT SHOW CAR

1928 Earl’s Court show car
Rare T-Type wet sump engine
3rd oldest Bertelli designed cars remaining
Fully restored by Ecurie Bertelli during the mid-2000s
Owned and used in the Punjab, India, for most of its life

We are delighted to offer for sale one of the earliest Aston Martins from the Bertelli era, TS10.  This wonderful car was the company’s first ‘Standard Sports Model’ and was in pride of place for their 1928 stand at the Earls Court Show; it was one of their earliest short-chassis cars carrying a light 2 seat body. The car was acquired by the Maharajah of Patiala and was taken to his residence in the Punjab, India.

Any record of TS10 was lost for many years apart from it being offered for sale in 1967 by Mr. Paraamjit of Lucknow Uttar Pradesh. It then went off the radar again until it resurfaced again in the early 2000s – not only in a poor state but quite literally in pieces. The original engine and worm drive rear axle were sadly no longer with the car, however, Andy Bell of Ecurie Bertelli, managed to source the last known correct wet sump engine, number TS18 and manufacture a new rear axle. The car was restored by Andy during the mid-2000s and now presents in excellent, restored condition and finished in a distinctive yellow color which is believed to be the colour it was painted for most of its time in India.
