Condition
7
Based on the description, the car appears to be in very good condition. It has been well-maintained by the current owner, with many hard-to-source parts replaced. It comes with a long MOT, new battery, two sets of keys, previous MOTs, original book pack and a good amount of history. It has only covered less than 1,000km in the last four years, and the odometer reading of 12,932 km is believed to be correct. The car is described as being the best ‘Trabi’ available on the market today.

This ex-Motor Museum Trabant with only 12,932km is offered at No Reserve An East German imported around the time of the wall coming down Built in 1985, and UK Registered in 1992 Just two family keepers.
Good amount of history Long MOT, two sets of keys as well as previous MOTs and original book pack The Trabant P601 was produced by VEB Sachsenring in Saxony in a long production run from 1963 to 1991 and accordingly it was the most well known Trabant with over 2.8M ‘Trabis’ finding homes, East Germany’s answer to West Germany’s VW Beetle ‘people’s car.’ Affordable and cheap to run (by Western standards) nevertheless the design displayed elements of foresight including the ‘modern’ front-wheel drive, all round independent suspension, a low maintenance engine and unitary construction.
The main let down was the dated two-stroke engine that continued in production in the absence of any development budget well past its natural lifespan.
