£12, 000 - £14, 000
Registration No: FSU 994
Chassis No: SAB8546
MOT: Exempt
Offered with sundry paperwork and a rare original Trojan 200 Owner’s Manual
Said to be 'running and driving'
Purchased in 2019 but has seen little use whilst in the vendors ownership
Finished in Blue, we are advised this Heinkel is in a running and driving condition, being described as having “good” bodywork, paintwork, engine, transmission and interior. Purchased by the vendor in 2019, it has been little used whilst in his ownership and is offered with a Swansea V5C document, 40th Anniversary Heinkel Trojan Club Members’ Handbook (1979-2019), other sundry paperwork and a rare original Trojan 200 Owner’s Manual.
The Type 153 was Heinkel's three-wheeled competitor to the BMW Isetta, Messerschmidt KR200 and other bubblecars of the austere late '50s/ early '60s. Powered by a rear-mounted single-cylinder, four-stroke engine of 204cc (later reduced to 198cc), it featured a front opening door plus a fabric sunroof that served both as a fair-weather accessory and escape hatch in the event of the door becoming jammed. European production was carried out in Germany from 1956 to 1958, and then under license in Dundalk, Ireland from 1958 to 1960, and by Trojan Cars on the UK mainland from 1960 until the cessation of the model in 1966. The latter examples were marketed as Trojan 200s and were the last vehicles to bear the Trojan name.
