Heinkel Kabine

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Heinkel Kabine was a Microcar with initially a 175cc, then a 204cc and later a 198cc sigle cylinder four stroke engines derived from the famous Tourist scooter. It was built between 1956 and 1965 in Germany (Speyer), Argentina, Ireland (Dundalk) and England (as Trojan 200 cabincruiser).

The car had either a single or double wheel in the back driven by the rear mounted engine. Access to the interior was by an opening front but in order not to infringe BMW's patent used on the Isetta the steering wheel did not move with the door. However it did feature a reverse gear unlike some other bubble cars.
