This car has been restored over the last 10 years. Trabant’s were only made in this colour for one year, which makes this a very rare example. It has been rebuilt to the original specifications and all parts used are new old stock factory items collected over a number of years. Every part that was used was a item that was correct for the year the car was produced. The engine is a 2 stroke 600cc air cooled twin. Which was fully stripped and rebuilt with new parts. The car is currently SORNd and has all the correct paperwork so it can be registered if imported from Hungary. The Trabant belongs to a good friend of mine in Hungary and I am happy to answer questions or you can email him at ferenc.bogar76@gmail.com or you can find him on Facebook as ferenc bogár         |

Today I visited my friend who owns this. And I have to say it really is stunning in the flesh.
It really is like a brand new car that has just rolled off the production line. So far he has had a few stupid offers from Mainly from Germans trying their luck.
Also if any body needs a engine for a Wartburg he has a brand new factory motor up for grabs.

It looks stunning, pretty much concourse, but I had a nice one a couple of years ago & it was £600.
£7600 sounds wildly optimistic but glws

Prices for these are going up as they are getting a bit harder to find even in Eastern Europe. And the Germans are buying everything up. Barkas vans have pretty much disappeared from Hungary, as the Former eastern Germans are getting all nostalgic. If you added up the costs for parts for this Trabi it would be well over the asking price, let alone the man hours that went in to it over ten years. If you took this car to a concourse event you would win, it really is that good. |

The classic world is littered with cars have cost way more to restore than they are worth, I fear this is one example of that. As I said it’s stunning, but I can’t see the price tag. |
