Only 331,847 Cabriolets came off the Karmann conveyor belt between 1949 and 1980. Compared to your normal tin-top models, this number is but a handful. For this reason you’re not likely to

see too many of them about today, which of course means they are a desireable model - especially the older ones. And when they look as good as Steve Raaff’s 1963 here, you can’t help be a little jealous.
