1962 GOGGOMOBIL

Details

The very rare model European Goggomobil TS 300 was manufactured by Hans Glas GmbH in the Bavarian town of Dingolfing, Germany. Glas produced Goggomobils until 1966, when the company was sold to BMW, and they continued production until 1969. 66,511 coupes were produced, but very few of the TS 300 models were produced. The cars were mostly sold in Europe where license and taxes did not apply to cars with engines of 250cc or less. As a result, most of the cars were the 250cc models. This car was

restored a few years ago, with a recent rebuild of the engine. The original TS 250 engine has been rebuilt to a 300cc 15hp engine, increasing the motor size to be more drivable with 4-speed manual transmission. New pistons and cylinders were installed, and the heads were worked. The transaxle was checked and one bearing was replaced. New gaskets and new universal joints were also installed. Very solid, this car has been converted for U.S. driving laws. It drives and handles well. The interior has also been recently renewed. The turn signal lights have been moved to the rear to satisfy the U.S. laws. This is a very presentable example of a Goggomobil coupe in great driving condition.
