Where Have the Trabis Gone?
By TOWLE TOMPKINS
It’s been estimated that 800,000 Trabants survive, so it’s fair to ask: what happened to the other 2,296,099?

=Microcars= Cary Grant's Isetta

There was an old, old printing company in our town that recently closed when
the owner (94) could no longer run the business. His daughter offered me a
large stack of B/W photos of cars that they had printed for a marketing
company to decorate restaurants. The cars range from 1939 - about 1970.
Many of the cars feature movie stars, or US presidents.

I have 2 extra pictures of Cary Grant standing in the open door of his
Isetta car. Year unknown. The image is 10-1/2" x 12-1/2" and the heavy duty
print paper is about 11-1/2 x 17-1/2".

They are in mint condition and would make a very nice addition to any
collector's office wall. I am willing to sell these two prints only for
$40.00 each plus $8 S&H in the US 48.

I alos own a 1951 Mark B, left hand drive, sold and marked as a
Sharps. It is very cool, and I love driving it. I also need a
wndscreen and some other minor parts for this car, but it is in use now.

=Microcars= New microcar video

I put some video clips and still pictures together for a fun collage of microcars. Most of the cars are ours, with a few that are sprinkled in I borrowed. Be sure to watch it in HIGH QUALITY for the best 2 stroke smoke you've ever seen.

Hello Sion,
I am currently restoring a 1953 Mk C that has 262 original miles but
was left outside for the better part of 50 years because of a loose
wire on the engine. It faired pretty well being all aluminum with
the exception of the wheels and the windshield which disintegrated.
I found the Bond Owners Club was not very friendly to American
enthusiasts. My first newsletter came with pages missing and was
told I wasn't allowed access to certain information such as cars and
parts for sale. Not to mention my membership dues were about 50% more
than U K members.
As a member of the International King Midget car club, my wife being
the treasurer, I found this to be very offensive and cancelled my
subscription. Why would any club treat an overseas member like a
second class participant? Anyway if you would like to exchange info
or pictures I would be very happy to.
I am currently looking for a wiring schematic and a windscreen for
mine. If anyone knows where I could acquire one please let me know.
A '53 Mk C sold about a year ago that had a serial number 20 numbers
after mine that was a left hand drive like my Bond. Maybe you could
track that one down. It was complete but needed a full restoration. I
went and took pics of it before it was shipped. If you would like I
could send those to you as well.
I would like to see some pics of your '52 if you would like to send
me some. Regards, MikeyB

=Microcars= Re: Ariel Atom: Uber-Minimalist Sports Car

I've got an Australian issue sales brochure for the Areil Atom for
sale on the OZtion auction site...there's a few other microcar
(modern) bits and bobs there also. Here's a link to my items, if
anyone's interested:
