Trabant Spotting..

[Waynester]

My 1st Trabant 'spotted' in Hungary, Satoraljaujhely, earlier this morning.

The guy was proud of his 'Trab' as he had a model of one on his dash...

Go to Berlin, you can hire them.

There is one for sale at a garage in Leicester.

My aunt's father has driven Trabants for 30 years + as his sole method of transport and his commuter car between his home on an island on the North west coast of Ireland just off Donegal and Holland for the past 20 years.

+1 There's bloody loads of them in Berlin, including Trabi Safari where you see the city in a convoy of the smokey, noisy, hateful cars.

Trabants and Moskviches up the yin yang here, as well as those old Lada Riva things...

A lot more in Leipzig and Dresden. Somewhere I have a photo of an open top six wheeler stretched version, just for tourist rides. Wouldn't want to go fast in that one.

I am sure I saw one broken down on the M27 this morning (near Eastleigh airport, Southampton)

Not sure if it was a Trabamt, but certainly looked like one.....

We did a bike tour but never got round to doing that one. Maybe next time.

I was taking to a Museum Curator about a Trabant on display. He pointed out a blemish on a replacement wing they had fitted, he wasn't going to impove it, apparently it was a button (the body work is compressed cotton from cast off clothing) showed provenance.

grandad used to have one. He sold it for a bobble car. Times were tough..

Crock.

Loved all the old Soviet era cars when I visited Budapest.

Can anyone tell me that this is? Snapped it whilst wandering around Fisherman's Bastion

[XitUp]

Is it not a Skoda Estelle?

[anonymous-user]

Having googled it, it would appear so. 4 minutes - good job

Thanks

About half a second of looking at it really. Ex had a Rapid.
