    Damn, faster then I thought.

    You are correct.

    Typ34 Ghia Razor. Also referred to as the Razors Edge.
    They are actually much harder to come across then their Karmann counterparts.

    This body was designed by VW, whereas the other Ghia was designed by (easy guess) Karmann.
    The Typ34 actually falls into the Typ3 class with the Square, Notch, and FastBacks.
    They use a Typ3 engine, same as the Typ1 with the exception of the alternator placement, and cooling fan.

    Yes, you managed to find the same photo I used.

    First page of Google for the win.
    (I suck at this game, but I love to play)






    I do want one, I have always loved their lines.
    But hard to find + sought after = more money then I can afford.

    I remember seeing them on the roads but never knew their back story. Until now. Thanks

    Actually, this isn't the game thread. This is the thread for people who genuinely want help identifying unknown cars. The game thread is here:

    I tried to search too, but thanks to the shows website that listed the cars in attendance, that was the only car I had never heard of and googled it and found it was the same one.

    It reminds me of the old Rolls-Royce tank cars. But the radiator could just as well be Lancia.

    This is the 1915 Sizaire-Berwick "Wind Wagon," a one-off experimental vehicle for the British Admiralty. The purpose was to design a vehicle that would be fitting for Middle East and African terrain.

    By the way, the story goes that Sizaire-Berwick copied the Rolls Royce radiator design but registered it as a trademark before Rolls. Rolls eventually had to purchase the trademarked design from SB.
