    Technik: Mit „Karmann-Ghia“ ist heute meist der Typ 14 gemeint, während der Typ 34 als „großer Karmann“ bezeichnet wird. Der Typ TC wurde in Europa nicht angeboten und ist dort weitgehend unbekannt. Wie viele andere Fahrzeuge aus den 1950er und 1960er Jahren hat der Karmann-Ghia eine beachtliche Fangemeinde. Die Fahrer sind oft in Interessengruppen oder Clubs organisiert und pflegen ihr gemeinsames Hobby bei Treffen und Ausfahrten. Die Versorgung mit Ersatzteilen ist meist sehr gut, wenn auch nicht durchgehend preiswert. Karosserieteile für den Typ 14 sind schwer zu bekommen, insbesondere die Stoßstangen und komplette (geschweißte) Vorderwagen. Der Karmann-Ghia ist zwar vom Käfer abgeleitet, aber in manchen Details, verglichen mit der Käfer-Limousine und auch mit dem Käfer Cabrio, ein deutlich aufwendigeres Fahrzeug. Der Preis für gut erhaltene Fahrzeuge liegt bei der Limousine im fünfstelligen Euro-Bereich, die offene Version wird höher bewertet (Stand Mai 2014). LG Tom
