Where did you get this ? This East German Soviet era surrogate of a car has still German licence plates. I believe there is in Germany Trabant Fan Club. It should be given to them. I am sorry to see this vehicle in such a bad shape.

It's been parked at the side of the road not far from where I live for a couple of weeks now: as an advert for a filling station a few miles further along the way. Over the last couple of days, I've finally had enough time to stop and take a few pics.

What is a filling station ?

I hope they have some 2 stoke oil to go in the Trabants tank

Like a gas station, only British.

I had one in front of me a few weeks ago and had to close all the vents: what a stinker!

I was gutted when they stopped making 2 stoke motorbikes, i had a ride on my friends Widowmaker Kwak H2 750 last month it was wonderful

There was another car made in East Germany with 2 stroke engine, a Wartburg. A three cylinder, under 1000 ccm "monster" LoL. Quite durable, my father own one for 17 years (one major overhaul) and still sold it in working condition.

Very nice. Could you have shot a bit wider? It's almost too tight.

Thanks. Do you mean the first shot - of the grille? This is it again uncropped:

I was trying to say I would have shot this beautiful car from a few meters back. Maybe still focus on the grill but get all of it in the frame. Either way I like the B&W processing and your subject!

Oh, I see. I have a couple like that and will pick out one to post tomorrow if time allows. Thanks again.
