Racing cardboard, thermoset bomber, worker's Mercedes: the Trabi has met with much scorn and derision since it first rolled off the assembly line over sixty years ago. Anyone who depended on a car in the GDR could hardly get around it - and not infrequently felt a pronounced love-hate relationship with its rattling two-stroke.

However, when it was suddenly able to drive in all directions with the fall of the Wall in 1989, the little Zwickau car quickly conquered the hearts of car lovers in the West and all over the world. And the classic car with the friendly face has retained this place to this day.

Trabi Love - an Eastern product rattles through the world

Whether sky blue, olive green or colourfully dotted - "Trabi Love" presents over 200 pages of some of the Trabant models still cherished and maintained today. They rattle through Great Britain, France, America and even Ecuador, where the first Trabi ever imported was paid for with a load of bananas.

But "Trabi Love" not only tells the stories of individual cars, it also brings the unknown to light in a visually stunning presentation and shows what might have been.
