WORDS/PHOTOS THE BEAR

This Trabant has been carefully restored.
EVERYBODY MAKES JOKES ABOUT the dud cars that manufacturers have produced over the years. Ford would, I’m sure, prefer to forget the Edsel just as Audi would the Fox. But what about a manufacturer that has only ever made one car… which kept East Germans in jokes for decades? Meet the Trabant, built by VEB Sachsenring in Zwickau, Saxony from 1957 to 1990. I know it’s a car, but it is also a 601cc two-stroke, which sounds like a bike.
