The Trabant 601 S De Luxe was a version of the Trabant 601, a car produced in the GDR by VEB Sachsenring Automobilwerke Zwickau. The 601 was built from 1964 to 1990 and was the best-known model of the Trabant series.
S De Luxe equipment: This was a more luxurious variant with, among other things, better upholstery, trims, sometimes chrome details, and extra comfort features compared to the standard version.
A rare Trabant 601, one of the very last 2-stroke cars produced by VEB
Sachsenring around the fall of the Berlin Wall on November 9, 1989. Although the car received a Fahrzeugbrief in the GDR on November 15, 1989, it was never officially registered at the time.
After the fall of the Wall, a few 4-stroke Trabants were built, but compared to Western cars of the time, they were outdated. This example therefore has a special historical value as the last 2-stroke model.
In the 90s, the car was sold to Sweden, after the friends of the Jännaholm Museum, where it stood in its original condition until 2024. The import to Sweden was done via Bilprisma Rantzow AB (current Porsche dealer in Malmö) with a pre-registration (blank registration) on July 4, 1990. The vehicle received an official registration number, but was not registered at the time. In 1997, the car was sold by Bilprisma Rantzow AB to the museum, where it has remained unused ever since.
It was not until 2024 that the car was officially registered for the first time when purchased by the current owner. The car is still in an exceptionally original condition, with an actual mileage of only 123.4 km.
