Lotus racing green on a Karmann Ghia--wonderful. Now, if it also had the Lotus engine, it would be a screamer

It looks to be in very good shape. Did your dad restore it?

Afectionately known as a "Sheep in Wolfs clothing"... Wonderful looking cars with terrible performance... I think the factory O-100 time was something like 22 seconds?

Nicely solved with a Porsche or Subaru motor.

I always wanted one... Still jealous.. Crying or Very sad emoticon

Very nice.
Used to be into V.W.'s, spent fortunes on them.
Wish I had some of them now.
