Rapidly growing in popularity due to their size and low running costs, microcars like this Trojan 200 can be considered a sound investment, or a fun compact runabout – the choice is yours. Based on the Heinkel Kabine, the Trojan 200 is fitted with a 200cc, one-cylinder engine producing 10bhp when new. A four-speed manual gearbox put that output to the rear wheel, and this one-door three-wheeler features both a canvas roof and period tartan upholstery. Described by the vendor as in ‘excellent’ condition for everything from the engine and transmission to bodywork and interior, ‘322 JUB’ comes with only 558 miles indicated on the odometer, original bodywork throughout, and the original handbook.

With a history of making cars that goes back to 1914, Trojan spent the first 50 years or so offering models similar to Ford’s Model T – the Utility Car – and vans. In 1959, Peter Agg bought the company, and from 1960, Trojan produced the Heinkel Kabine bubble cars under licence. These had been produced between 1956 and 1958 by Heinkel, before a licence was transferred to Dundalk Engineering in Ireland, before it was withdrawn shortly afterwards due to poor quality control, when Trojan picked up the baton. Unlike some other bubble cars, the Trojan 200 did feature a reverse gear, though the steering wheel didn’t move with the door, so as to not conflict with Iso Rivolta’s patent on the Isetta. Production continued until 1965.

In summary:

· Unusual and characterful three-wheeler available

· Presented in immaculate condition inside and out

· Odometer shows fewer than 600 miles on the clock
