Hadn’t Seen a Trabant For Years

This looks quite tidy for a Trabant, it’s complete with a DDR sticker. It has an odd appeal for me.

Still loads in Germany, particularly Berlin

I saw one parked in the Tesco car park at Handforth towards the end of last year. It was a freezing cold night and stank the car park out when the owner started it.

Yes, I believe they still do a Trabant self drive guided City tour.

They're actually pretty rare in Berlin in
part due to Umwelt restrictions that severely limit when and where they can be driven. The handful you see are from the Trabi Safari that have a historic exemption.

I’d absolutely love a Trabi, I just don’t think my 6’8 frame would manage to survive very long inside one
