1967 Goggomobil TS250

The Goggomobil was launched in 1955 and was named after the owner's grandson, Goggo Glex. Produced by Hans Glas GmbH of Dingolfing, Germany, they were bought out by BMW in 1966, and production ended in 1969. Total production of all T Series sedans reached 214,313 units prior to production ending on June 30th.

The T250 was introduced at the 1954 IFMA international bicycle and motorcycle show and was powered by a rear-mounted 245cc air-cooled two-stroke straight twin engine. The body style was a two-door sedan with a conventional appearance that remained mostly unchanged until 1957 when the sliding windows in the doors were replaced by wind-up windows, and two windshield wipers replaced the earlier single wiper. A 300cc and 400cc capacity versions became available, respectively known as the T300 and T400. The final design change occurred in 1964 when the rear-hinged suicide doors were replaced by conventional front-hinged doors.

The Goggomobil TS had 2+2 seating and was introduced in 1957 at the IFMA alongside the improved T sedan. Models included the TS250, TS300, and the TS400, with the names representing the cubic centimeter engine displacement size. The only major change occurred in 1964 when the rear-hinged suicide doors were replaced by conventional front-hinged doors.

The TS 250 was powered by a Glas 2-stroke, 2-cylinder, 247cc displacement engine installed in the back of the car. The air-cooled unit offered 13.6 horsepower at 5,000 RPM and was backed by a four-speed plus reverse. It had an overall weight of 415 kg, tires that measured 4.40 x 10 inches, and a top speed of nearly 50 mph.
