I still have a ~1987 600 cc twin cyl. 2-stroke Trabant.
Beautifully tractable & smooth engine.
Originally owned in East Germany, after the wall came down it was purchased & driven to England. Mrs H. & I used it as a fun/regular car and for microcar rallys.
Now a 'queen' in my garage as I wouldn't sell it except to a car collector - too many yobbos used to phone up thinking it only suitable to drive into the ground for a seasons 'fun'. Well engineered and a non-ferrous body give it a charm.
