And yet another Porkarr

This time it is for real, this is the unloved, yet rare as a hens teeth karmann coupé, for sale in Sverige. Built by Karmann it had a hardtop welded onto the overproduced cabrio bodies, when they saw a need to venture into the coupé bussiness, up till then dominated by Reutter.

Not seldom they are now cut back to their former cabrio glory, as even converted cabrio's fetch higher prices than the unwanted notchback 356. So in the end even less good Notches will remain. I wonder if they will ever be valued higher then their more svelte sisters.

This is the profile of a restored specimen, and to be honest, it is ugly. Or should we rather say different or unknown, or even unappreciated?
