1959 Goggomobil TL400 Transporter Van

The Goggomobil was hugely successful because it was a 'real' car in miniature Goggomoils were offered in three body styles, all mounted on the same chassis. These were the four-seater sedan, the two-seat coupe, and for commercial use, a small delivery van or Kleintransporter. This Goggomobil Transporter is the rarest of the rare U.S. specification variant, of which only about 12 are known to have been imported. The U.S. model received the largest, most powerful engine - a 400cc 2-cycle unit putting out 14 horsepower. U.S. models also were equipped with a four-speed pre-select transmission. Every aspect of the mechanical and cosmetic restoration was completed by the owners, except for the stitching of the replacement seat covers, which was done by a Central Florida craftsman to the exact specification of the original.
