Goggomobil Sedan

N14, near Aggeneys, Northern Cape, South Africa

Goggomobil was a series of microcars produced in the Bavarian town Dingolfing after World War II by Glas.
Glas produced three models on this platform: the Goggomobil T sedan, the Goggomobil TS coupé, and the Goggomobil TL van.
The engine was an air-cooled, two-stroke, two-cylinder unit originally displacing 250 cc, but later available in increased sizes of 300 cc and 400 cc.
It had an electric pre-selective transmission built by Getrag and a manual clutch.
The engine was behind the rear wheels. Suspension was independent all round using coil springs with swing axles.
214,313 sedans, 66,511 coupés, and 3,667 Transporter vans and pickups were built from 1955 to 1969.
