The car was so popular around 3 million cars were made up before production ceased in 1991. Many of the cars were exported and were favourites of many communist countries, being spacious for all of the family it was small, compact and very lightweight. Nicknamed Trabbi or Trabi, where were many versions, namely the Trabant 500, Trabant P 50 and the Tranbant 601. Now, the Tranbant has become a collector’s item with people all over the world and it has been used in many popular films.
Many people love the car for its nostalgic qualities, with collectors all over the world. Its bodywork made of recycled materials was the result of extensive research into alternative materials. Made of a resin, which is reinforced with cotton fibres, Duroplast is very similar to fibreglass (the latter was more widely accepted in the UK, as communist production was not very popular in other countries.)
The Trabant trek is a fantastic opportunity to take one of these enigmatic cars around the Eastern European countryside. With a couple of cars and the blokes in the back, you can have your own version of The Italian Job, or just take in the sights, while driving around at a leisurely pace. The Trabant trek is becoming a widely popular craze with people travelling all over the world in these little plastic cars. Take a picnic, or taste the local delights in the heart of the Hungarian hills.
The hottties go crazy over this little car and driving one will make you the envy of other motorists – at least in theory. You can get cosy in the back or pose with cute local girls on the bonnet. You can take part in the Trabant trek both in summer and winter; both are memorable for different reasons!
Take a soft top in the summer so you can get a closer look at the landscape or challenge your mates to a drive in the snow. The car’s two-stroke engine and dashboard gear-stick will only be the first part of the challenge. Whenever you decide to take on the Trabant trek be sure to allow the day, as you never know where this classic little car will take you.
