La grise à droite. Si elle n'a pas d'intérêt, je la supprimerai, ou regrouperai. |

Je dirais que c'est une Goggomobil. |

I agree that this is a Goggomobil.However the correct denomination as used in the encyclopedias is Glas Goggomobil since they were manufactured by the Hans Glas GmbH of Dingolfing.It dates 1955-57 but it is not possible to tell if it is a 250,300 ro 400 cc 2 stroke twin here .These were rear mounted engines.So it should be filed under the Glas name. |

Presentation was in 1954, production started in 1955 and ended in 1969... The car shown here seems to have the doorhandle on the rear (so no 'suicide' doors), which indicates a 1964+ model. |

BTW more than 280.000 were produced, so it's not really rare, but I'm surprised there are only very few on this site... |

You could be right, but the door hinges can easily be mistaken for the doorhandle: /vehicle_20786-Glas-Goggomobil-T-Limousine-1957.html It is 50/50, if you ask me. It does have the outside lying rear lights, so it is from 1957 or later. I would suggest to use 'Glas Goggomobil T Limousine' (1957). |
