For Sale 1958 LHD Karmann Ghia – 2276cc-

Factory-Fresh Restoration

An extraordinary example of the iconic Karmann Ghia, this 1958 LHD coupe is presented in show-stopping condition following a full body-off, nut-and-bolt restoration—carried out to an exceptional standard as a lockdown passion project.
 

Originally built as a 1959 model year car and delivered to San Jose, California, this Ghia retains around 98% of its original metalwork. Every inch of the car has been meticulously restored, with panel fit, shut lines and finish all to factory or better standard. The body was taken back to bare metal, repaired as needed, and finished in a deep gloss red that looks like it's just rolled off the line.
 

Power comes from a freshly built 2276cc engine—brand new and only driven approximately 5 miles. This setup delivers a thrilling performance boost over the original, while the Red9Design front end ensures modern precision and driveability. A set of wide-5 Fuchs replica wheels completes the performance stance with just the right balance of style and attitude.
 

The interior is a work of art—fully trimmed in leather throughout, bringing an elevated, tactile richness that surpasses the factory original specification, but still complements the car’s period feel.
 

Displaying 50,335 miles (not verified), this Ghia is as clean underneath as it is up top and would be equally at home on the show stand, the Sunday drive or the collector’s garage. It’s a rare opportunity to own a beautifully reimagined classic that feels as if it’s just rolled out of the factory—only better-On the market for £40,000.
