FridgeFreezer Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 I've got a couple of better photos but I thought I'd see if anyone is enough of an anorak to identify it from this answers on a postcard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FridgeFreezer Posted June 30, 2010 Author Share Posted June 30, 2010 We have a winner, well guessed spotted Steve, top anoraking The worrying thing is this did appear to be very much a factory job: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Landy'd Gentry Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Is it because the exhausts from the trabant were similar to the smoke emmitted by a camel cigerette? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FridgeFreezer Posted June 30, 2010 Author Share Posted June 30, 2010 Brilliant - goes to show how ludicrously OTT a lot of expedition trucks are too. 2WD and 26hp, and you can pick it up and carry it if need be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Landy'd Gentry Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Reminds me of three chaps who went across an african country one in a merc, one in a lancia and the other one in an old Kadett, ah bless, he fell in love with the car, and called it Oliver.

Mo Murphy Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Perhaps we need a Trabant forum ? I think the term expedition truck is a bit of a misnomer since most go no further than Billing Mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mickeyw Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Never studdied Trabbies in any detail before, but that looks amazing similar to a mate's Austin A40. That was built in the 60's and is clinging on for dear life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
