Great shot and memory's Tom, we had a Heinkel in the sixties, it blew a head gasket every time we went up a steep hill, always carried a couple of spare ones with us, great fun.

Yes Dave...I remember it well.
we were young then and didn't care. Two great shots Tom, I wish we had kept hold of ours. Pam
Great looking little cars, I've never seen one before. We only had VW and Minis out here.

Never hear of Heinkel car which I assume is a German make. I have seen a BMW bubble car so maybe a fashion in Germany then?
Potted History: The Heinkel Kabine was a microcar designed by Heinkel Flugzeugwerke and built by them from 1956 to 1958. Production was transferred under licence to Dundalk Engineering Company in Ireland in 1958. However, the licence was withdrawn shortly afterwards due to poor quality control. Production restarted in 1960, again under licence, under the Trojan 200 name by Trojan Cars Ltd. in the UK, and continued until 1966.
The Trojan must be a sibling of the Heinkel.
