✍What happened to the Trabant factory?
The Zwickau factory in Mosel (where the Trabant was manufactured) was sold to Volkswagen AG; the rest of the company became HQM Sachsenring GmbH. Volkswagen redeveloped the Zwickau factory into a centre for engine production; it also produces some Volkswagen Golfs and Passats.
✍How much did a Trabant cost new?
That is when the last one rolled off the assembly line in Zwickau, Germany. Trabants cost about $8,600 new and were coveted for decades by East Germans. The demand evaporated last fall after Germany's unification. East German motorists suddenly could buy any car they wanted.
✍Do people still drive Trabants?
While Germans are known for their love of luxurious cars, in the eyes of many, the Trabi remains a cult car. According to the Federal Motor Transport Authority, around 34,500 Trabants were registered in Germany at the beginning of 2019.

My father worked on some Belarus tractors which were sent to nz when the USSR couldn't pay their wool bill. The farmers loved those tractors. As dad put it - there was nothing you couldn't fix with a sledge hammer or a welding torch - ideal for farmers. Dad also got a verbatim transcript of the manual which was hilarious with messages like " comrades are reminded that the water holder is not to be used for holding vodka.

Только внешние поверхности капотов, крыля , ворот и крышу были из композитов, все остальное было из метала, включая решётки.

@@kbmblizz1940 Rebuilding was quicker and cheaper than changing the spark plugs on your car 😂 A few hours. It’s a two stroke, different story, no camshaft no, valves. And this is normal for a two stroke, it’s not that trabant engine was worse than other two stroke engines. BTW original German trabant parts were actually much better but they were hard to find and we had to use worse quality parts. Nowadays two stroke motorcycles have improved engines with water-cooling, oil tank, injection systems but for those times it was just fine. A more complex part of the car was the gearbox for example but that never had to be serviced only the engine. And if you think of it, if you have a car something goes wrong at say only 100k miles with the engine like head gasket and warping of heads then fixing it (not to mention rebuilding it) would be many times more complicated than rebuilding a 2 stroke. With a two stroke you would never worry, they just don’t fail, only start to lose a bit o power when it’s time for a refresh. Remember, most people were quite poor during those times in the countries where trabants were available and this car simply meant extremely good economy…reliability from a different perspective

My first car was a bit like a Trabant. A small company in Adelaide manufactured mini cars with a strong steel chassis and a fibreglass reinforced plastic body. The engine was a two cylinder two stroke, low powered but sturdy. The car was not a commercial success because it was selling against the much more powerful Mini which was also being manufactured here.
