As you can see from the pictrues this is the perfect summer cruiser but is also watertight (as all karmann's are) so it could be a year round motor. In the 3 years I have had it I though it has only seen dry weather and been garaged constantly.
The car needs nothing but granted it is not fully spec'd or suited as a German Look car in its current paint and wheels. The basics for an excellent German Look cabrio are all there though. My plan was to fit porsche brakes and fuchs, then a bigger motor etc.. and then finally repaint to a dark metallic blue (to compliment the hood and interior) and fit modern porsche wheels. However, time and money means it will never happen - I enjoy the car as it is and have loved owning it but it is time to move it on. If it went to a German Look fan then I would hope one day it would end up as I have always thought it would look and perform like
