For sale on eBay, this 1974 VW 1303 Karmann Cabriolet is a stunning right-hand drive import with serious Porsche-inspired styling. Originally a US import brought to the UK by an American serviceman in 1992, it was converted to RHD and has been meticulously maintained with full history since 1992. Finished in Porsche Guards Red, the paintwork still looks fantastic, perfectly complemented by a new black mohair hood that’s in immaculate condition. This Beetle’s striking appearance is enhanced by a “German Look” Porsche makeover, featuring colour-coded bumpers, satin black trim, tinted lights, and genuine Porsche 17″ Turbo Twist wheels freshly powder coated and fitted with new tyres.
Inside, it continues the Porsche theme with black leather, red-piped electric seats from a Porsche 911/964, a customised Porsche 944 leather steering wheel, and a genuine period Hurst shifter. The rear seats are trimmed to match, creating a cohesive and luxurious interior. Mechanically, it’s lowered front and rear, giving it an aggressive stance and improved handling, while the upgraded stereo system adds modern convenience. This isn’t just a Beetle—it’s a head-turning, Porsche-inspired masterpiece that drives as good as it looks. Super rare, super cool, and ready for summer cruising.
