Pobably not a Wartburg - they were steel, or a Trabant - they were made of a sort of cardboard style grp.

What makes you think it's German?

A piccy would be good.

Cheers

Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!

Wartburg Knight

I knew a bloke who had one of these and it had ally panels. It also had the old Saab 3 cylinder 2 stroke engine from the early Saab 96 model as driven by a young Blomquist. It used to eat crankshafts as they were made in sections and riveted together somehow. I doubt if any parts are still available for them in U.K.

yours, Pete.
