A rare opportunity to own a nice British-built bubble car with an older restoration

The Type 153 was Heinkel's three-wheeled competitor to the BMW Isetta, Messerschmitt KR200 and other bubble cars 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, Dundalk in Ireland from 1958 to 1960, and by Trojan Cars on the UK mainland from 1960 until the cessation of the model in 1966.
