We mentioned a few weeks back that East Germany’s most famous son – the Trabant – is due to be remade and relaunched. Which makes it a good time to get in first by picking up an original Trabant.
This one is one of the last to made back in 1990 and features a VW Polo engine, a new starter motor and 83,000 on the clock. But best of all, it doesn’t seem to have been altered externally – which could mean a shrewd investment as a future cult classic.
Note is it left-hand drive before you get your money out – but you could pick it up for a song with the £500 starting bid not yet in place.

Something strange about the car for sale. Note the two different car number plates in the two photos!!
It could be that the AIT registration plate is the original one. The typeface is not standard UK for a start.
