1965 Trojan 200 Model 601
This 1965 Trojan 200 is a three-wheeled, right-hand-drive example imported to the US from the UK, where it reportedly spent around two decades on display at Lincolnshire’s Bubblecar Museum beginning in the early 2000s. Finished in red with chrome trim and a blue tartan cloth interior, it is powered by an air-cooled 198cc four-stroke single paired with a four-speed manual gearbox.
Features include a side-hinged front access door, canvas sunroof, eight curved greenhouse windows, chrome full-width bumpers, 10″ steel wheels, and hydraulic front drum brakes. Acquired by the selling dealer in 2024, it is offered with a clean Florida title identifying the vehicle as a Heinkel motorcycle.
Based on the German Heinkel Kabine microcar—developed by the aircraft manufacturer when post-war restrictions halted aircraft production—the Trojan was produced under license after Heinkel’s original 1956–58 run ended.
Trojan Cars Ltd. manufactured the model in the UK from 1960 to 1966, with this example featuring a red exterior, side-opening front door, pop-out front side windows, canvas sunroof, chrome three-piece front and wraparound rear bumpers, Trojan badging, bright body-side moldings, a single wiper, right-side mirror, and side-mounted indicators with integrated parking lamps.
Its three 10″ silver steel wheels wear Michelin front tyres and a Trelleborg rear, with a spare stored beneath the seat. Independent front suspension uses leading swingarms with coils and shocks, while the rear employs a single-sided swingarm with a coilover. Braking is via hydraulic drums up front and a hand-operated mechanical drum at the rear. The selling dealer advises that the braking system should be serviced before the car is driven.
Inside, the right-hand-drive cabin features a two-wide bench trimmed in blue tartan with grey vinyl accents. Black carpeting—replaced prior to sale—lines the floor, and the interior includes a roller-style accelerator pedal and a rear parcel shelf.
A white three-spoke steering wheel fronts a column-mounted dashboard with a VDO 80-mph speedometer and keyed ignition. The five-digit odometer displays 14,000 miles, roughly 100 of which were added by the selling dealer.
The air-cooled 198cc four-stroke engine, rated at 10 hp when new, is accessed via a hatch in the rear shelf. The fuel switch was replaced in November 2024, shortly before the car was imported later that month.
The rear body panel hinges upward to reveal the exhaust and rear wheel, which receives power through a multi-plate wet clutch, four-speed manual transmission, and an enclosed drive chain. Visible rust is noted on the exhaust and rear wheel nut, and while the reverse gear works, the selling dealer reports that it can be difficult to engage.
