  • I think the last ones made after reunification had Polo 1.2l engines, remember the drive to Poland and fueling up in EastGermany and having to pay in West German Marks and the locals filling up with petrol and measuring out the amount of oil to go in to the tank.

  • I have great memories with trabant😁 good thing is you don't need to worry about rust because whole car is from bakelit ( material) if you need to know something about trabant let me know. Swap engine. You could use engine from Fiat punto mk1 1.2 16v 63 bhp.

  • My Nephew bought a Trabant for his Hungarian father in law as a run around on his small holding , when he returned back a few weeks later, he had hacksawed the roof off and made it into a pickup 😂 …… he had waited about 4 years for a new one in the 70’s ticking the options box for wipers, 3 years later it turned up without wipers, the dealer said if you want wipers you will have to go back on the 3 waiting list 🙈😂)
