The Rometsch Lawrence Coupé is a rare 1950s icon, built on the Volkswagen Beetle platform. While it was praised for its design at the time, it was priced too exclusively to compete commercially with the Karmann Ghia. As a result, production numbers remained very low – which makes surviving examples like this one even more valuable today.
Cars like this rarely come up for sale. Now available at a fraction of the investment made in its restoration.
