Goggomobil was a series of microcars produced by Hans Glas in the Bavarian town of Dingolfing between 1955 and 1969.
The T250 was a conventional-looking two door sedan with a rear-mounted 245 cc air-cooled two-stroke straight twin engine.
[2] The Goggomobil TS 2+2 coupe was introduced at the 1957 IFMA show alongside the improved T sedan.
These were special export versions, with the 400 cc engine, an automatic gasoline-oil mixer, and 7-inch (180 mm) sealed-beam headlights as required by US regulations.
[2][3][10] Between 1957 and 1961 some 700 sports cars called Goggomobil Darts were produced by Buckle Motors Pty Ltd in Sydney, Australia.
[7] Other Goggomobil models were also produced under licence,[11] including saloon, coupe, coupe-convertible and light van variants.
[11] The Goggomobil reentered the Australian consciousness in the 1990s when it featured in a widely-quoted advertisement for the Yellow Pages telephone directory.
