I have not yet come across a Karmann emblem. I often tell people that it was made in the old Karmann Ghia plant.

I just bought Karmann emblems from BestStickers.net website. They make several iterations & exact copies of the Karmann plant logos.

They have a thread already started in this forum: BestStickers.net thread

Sorry, Andrew - Competition.

Later,
