1989 Trabant 601 S Deluxe review from UK and Ireland
"Rrrring, ding, ding, ding..."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Door lock stuck - easily fixed.
Window stuck - easily fixed.
Exhaust blown - easily welded!
General comments?
Fantastic fun. Real head turner. Cheap and very reliable. Owners club are very useful.
So much fun for so little money should surely be against the law!
Good to see people in cars worth more than my house stop and stare!
