Bought myself a Trabant!

Just done a deal for the pictured car. It's a 1989 Trabi  601 S Kombi.
Interestingly, this was the last year of production for the two stroke model and was manufactured in the same month(Nov) that the Berlin Wall opened.
This improved model had the coil spring suspension and electronic ignition.
The car is a great runner and the previous owner has made quite a few improvements, with  new brake cylinders and drums, new bonnet frame, windscreen, tyres and battery.
I'm on my second Wartburg, but this will be my first Trabi.
It needs a little work to improve, namely two door sills to be spliced into place and a little welding around a wheel arch. But the car has a long mot and is taxed.

It's on the button mechanically, has a good solid chassis and clean seats and interior. Has only covered about 40k miles from new. Will post more about it soon.
The car is still in England and I have to make arrangements to go and collect it.
