Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Spinner wheel covers, single rear wheel, VDO clock.

Condition

Dry older window moulding. Good, basic repaint. A few scratches on the roof around the retractable cloth roof. Very good interior. A basic microcar quality restoration. Nothing over the top, just a plaything and an interesting alternative to an Isetta. These cars were essentially Heinkel Kabines built in Britain under license by Trojan, the same company that constructed some of the later Elva Couriers and McLaren Can-Am cars.

Market commentary

Sold at Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale in 2008 for $31,900, then sold at Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale in 2015 for $33,000. It has just 19 more miles on the odometer a year later, but brought over 10 grand less. Also reported sold here at the same result as S302. Kissimmee is apparently not a good place for Trojans, but very good for Trojan buyers.
