Dundalk Engineering in Ireland, formerly repairers of locomotives, took over production of the Kabine from Heinkel in 1958—a logical step since half of Heinkel production was sold to the British Isles.
Peter Agg, Lambretta’s British distributor, negotiated the deal for manufacturing the Heinkel-I by Trojan and received motors from Heinkel themselves. Similar to the German Heinkel and Irish Heinkel-I, the Trojan was built with some British-sourced components, including Armstrong shock absorbers, Wilmot-Breeden latches, and Wipac or Miller lamps. A right-hand-drive version was built, and the car was available in both three- and four-wheel versions.
This Trojan 200 is a rare, three-wheeled, left-hand-drive version with metric instrumentation, apparently intended for export to the Continent. Presented in a lovely light-blue-over-black-leather colour scheme, this is an interesting, seldom-seen microcar.
