Nice KG. I still have mine, a 66 which I have had for thirty years? Bought for a song but it has rust issues in floor pan. Is your side mirror period correct? I just learned about low-light KG today, after reading about said term on Bring a Trailer.

I was 12 when this was made, and it just looked way more zoot/sporty than the std versions; and I thought those wheel covers looked the bling back in the day !!

Wonder if he still has it ?

I drive a 1969 convertible Karmann Ghia. I love driving it. It’s my everyday driver.

I had two of these , one orange , one red….. I loved them… great cars…. Wish I had that one !

Oh, this wasn’t ROCKFORDS car….. great vid nonetheless

I wish I could find one of these in the USA for sale. 👍

Dad had one in green

Its design is over 12 years old. BL never caught up again.

I had a Riley Kestrel in the 70s .......twin SU carbs ...a great car to drive . Took one from the UK down to the Pyrenees. No trouble at all there and back . The bodywork let it down at the end ......fond memories. DAVE H.

I had a 72 Ontario orange vette back in 72.......454, fully loaded..............man I miss that car

The number of these that were cannibalised by Mini owners for the engine/gearbox.......including me.

beautiful car in a beautiful city....perfect drive.

Very nice, back in the 70’s l had the yellow 1300 GT, SEE 123H, family got bigger so traded for a Maxi, another great car l loved, 50 years later l treated myself to a Austin 1300 Vanden Plas, WEE 212K.

Very nice, but you should lose that stupid brake light in the back it ruin the look.

Rockford’s firebird. Mannix’s cuda and challenger. Best cars.

Beautiful Corvette Brother, I own a 1964 Corvette Coupe that I love to drive

The Austin 1300 was my first car when I starded driving in 1979. I bought it for 600._ Swiss Francs and loved it for years

I had one of these from new in 1972, same colour body and interior, probably the best car I have ever bought, you summed it up beautifully about the charms of this little car, I hope you keep it for a long time and love it to bits 💜

My kind of life style 😁

Gorgeous little example!

The only things I don’t like are your window seals without chrome trims 😬 these seals always gives the ghias the cheap resto look🤗

would've liked a shot of the instrument panel.

Very nice, can you somehow include the photo of your dad with the car? God Bless your father.

bitchin.

Minter. Good darts👍🏻

Its a pretty smart investment...better than shares.

Its so bullshit. She bought it as an art piece which means it will stay in an art gallery forever and nwver be driven which is so sad. Its also got everything to do with how much its worth.

Oh man this guy is an Aussie too! Didnt know about Rockford Files until recently. Cool to know it aired down-under. Anyone know where you can watch episodes?

Had a standard 1300 model, but saw only as padding, the differences between the 2. Always thought the GT was mostly about looks

Wonderful example, half your luck!

Gorgeous car and beautiful colour

Also, the same year and model as mine. I fell in love with E Types when I saw my first one at the New York Auto Show in 1962. I was able to purchase my car in 1992 and spent the next 6 years restoring it to British Racing Green with a biscuit interior.(my daughters color choices). During the past 3 years, I did a complete engine and gearbox rebuild. I replaced the Strombergs with triple SUs and installed a 3.07 rear drive. Over the I have been honored to receive several best of show awards. I'm now 79 but still enjoy driving this wonderful automobile on a sunny day,

My grandfather loved his Austin 1100. :)

Only thing is that all of the Rockford Esprit Firebirds had deluxe interior this one didn't.

Conmomedor

Had four of them and loved them all. Very underrated car and beat the Mini hands down. Wife passed her test in it and the kids loved them. Just a real fun car.

i love this car but id have to change the wheels to minilites are something better than it comes with

Had one in glacier white loved it 1970 wished I had kept it 🙂

When I was 18 I had a new 1973 Austin 1300 GT in green mallard....the things we did together....

Hmm, an automatic, and a Series 4 Alpine badge...

初めましてこちらのポルシェ356はまだお持ちでしょうか？ もしお持ちでした売って頂く事は難しいでしょうか？ 宜しくお願い致します。

are there people in australia who know how to repair it?

Great video! I feel the same driving my 61 Ghia:-)

Personally I say 71/72 is the Prettiest Vettes off the Production line ever. Dream car white 72 454 stick with red interior of course

Bought a Austin 1300 in 86 for 200 quid. Wished I had kept it. Wasnt a GT but a great car. K reg.

I’ve just booked an S2 roadster for this weekend for my birthday. I’m truly excited!

Nice. We have a similar condition car in the family. Ex Renault dealer. Would love to chat with David. My name also.

Beautiful car. When I was a kid my Dad one of these.

Hi Andy, this is my favorite Karmann Ghia vid! And as you said - the smell, the sound, the design - same I feel driving my 67 cab. Best for me - washing that body by hand!
