Trabant 1.1 Universal Last Edition 444, 1991. Four owners, 6,817 km, service books from new.

Are you thinking of buying a Trabant 1.1 LAST EDITION 444?

Now this really is something unique. Trabant is the remarkable brand name of a car from the former East German factory VEB Sachsenring Automobilwerk Zwickau. In Zwickau, that goes without saying. A rather special name, if you ask us. It was chosen in 1957 through a competition, after the car had initially been sold under nothing more than its type designation. They weren't the most creative bunch over at those state-owned enterprises. The name is actually rather fitting: on the one hand, it means something like 'companion' or 'mate'. Many people regarded their Trabant as part of the family. On the other hand, the name refers to 'Erdtrabant', in other words 'satellite'.

The story continues on our website, where the full file is kept as well. 64 photographs. The service history, scanned in full. The Carfax report. Paint thickness measured panel by panel. The original factory brochure to page through.

Every car here follows the same route: first pre-market, then the showroom, and finally the live auction on our own site. What changes is the way you buy, not the location — once a car has arrived, it stays with us in Katwijk. This one is in the showroom and you are welcome to come and see it, no appointment needed. You buy it here at a fixed price: no bidding, no waiting. Our showroom in Katwijk, 30 km from Amsterdam Schiphol, is open Mon–Fri 9–18 and Sat 10–17. Call ahead and it will be standing ready, with someone free for you.

Within the EU no customs duty arises on this purchase. Registration tax and registration costs in your own country are not included. We supply the export documents and assist with the registration. The price shown is the full price for collection in Katwijk. We arrange insured door-to-door transport worldwide, cost quoted per destination beforehand.

Our showroom measures 6,000 m², with over 150 cars under one roof. You are just as welcome if you are not buying — walk around, take your time and enjoy the cars; sharing the enthusiasm is half of it.
