the reason

[T1KARMANN]

As some of you may know T1KARMANN stands for type 1 (vw beetle) Karmann (convertible )

i had the 1st black beetle for 12yrs but due to heath problems i was no longer able to drive it as it had a 2100lb clutch with a porche power plant

i had to stick to my roots with VW so just got this Auto

sorry for the bad pic but you get the idea
