1989 Trabant 601 S 0.6
Summary:
A real character car
Faults:
Exhaust blown - easily welded.
Rear fog light had to be fitted for the British MOT.
"Problem" with the windscreen washer pump handle from the inside - leaking - still to be rectified.
General Comments:
Consider we are really lucky to have one.
Superb condition, think we may get another one and keep this one under wraps.
Really good fun.
Brought it back from Bavaria just a few weeks ago, the man at Customs wanted it!!
Don't knock them until you have actually got one - they are really brilliant.
We are looking for a Tramp if anyone can help.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know

The Trabant is an amazing car! On a recent trip to Berlin there were still a significant number of them going around, and that's West Berlin as well as East! People may be buying new cars such as Volkswagen, but most of them actually keep their Trabi knowing it'll be a collectors item in years to come!
Long live the Trabant!

Hello, in answer to you question for a Trabbi wagon.. might I suggest shocauto.com.

I love trabants I like them because if something brakes down everybody can fix it.

This may be a totally daft question - but what are the bodies on Trabants made from? I'm sure someone once said they were made of a sort of cardboard laminate?
