Product Description : Unusual Blue & Gold Trabant Car Logo Enamel Pin Badge

• Recently featured and rated the #6 'Cold War Clunker' in the Channel 4 series from last year. Ths badge is in superb condition and is suitable as a tie or lapel pin and as a former owner of one I can say without fear of contridiction that they are a driving experience !
  
  This is quite a small pin badge, about the size of a shirt button, but very nice and in good condition and quite rare as it has been a long time since trabants were made.
  
  Powered by smelly two-stroke engines giving just 26 bhp, Trabants were basic transport for the masses in Eastern Europe where people had to wait years to own one. Austerely equipped, their boxy two-door bodies were built from a substance called Duraplast, an East German version of glassfibre which was actually more akin to cardboard. There were saloons, estates and a military-style open-topped version called the 'Tramp', which had cut-away doors and pieces of rope to stop the occupants falling out on corners.
  
  The badge is made of a gold coloured metal and features the trabant logo surrounded by blue enamel it is in good condition but is quite small, so it is a discreet lapel pin. I have started the bidding at 99p
  
  There are not many trabant pin badges around these days, so get one while you can.
