r000 19XX Make Model<br />

estimate: $000 000 - $000 000<br />

Hans Glas in Bavaria accomplished what the majority of microcar<br />

offered without reserve<br />

manufacturers could only dream of: the large series production of a very<br />

popular car over a very long period of time. There were over 174,548<br />

examples of the Type 250 produced, which is considered wildly successful<br />

for a manufacturer of any type of motorized vehicle. The model evolved<br />

throughout the years, mostly with changes in cosmetic appearance.<br />

However, beginning in 1956, a 300-cubic centimeter engine was<br />

introduced to complement the standard 250-cubic centimeter unit. Later<br />

on, a 20 horsepower, 400-cubic centimeter engine was available, but<br />

most of them were fitted to U.S.-bound cars, like the car offered here.<br />

This T250 sedan is also fitted with the desirable electric pre-selector<br />

transmission and is a truly time warped example, having never been<br />

restored. Finished in black with its original red interior and black mats,<br />

it also bears originality beyond that of patina, including an original<br />

sticker from Siraky’s Scooter Center in San Francisco, California, who<br />

likely sold this Goggomobil new. The oregon license plates are also<br />

likely original to this car, and its last registration stickers are from 1966.<br />

manufacturer overall, this Manufacturer car presents in excellent, unmolested production condition # and would<br />

origin serve equally City, well Country as a candidate for restoration ID no. or preservation.<br />
