Manufacturer description

The German micro car with a left hand drive and Spartan Red colour scheme, dating back to the mid 1950s and registered 365 HRT, comes with a black roof and lots of contrasting silver trim. The interior reveals dark grey and tartan seating, black floor and cream gear knob and steering wheel.

The original Heinkel Kabine which was designed by the famous German aircraft manufacturers was made with a steel unit body and the interior was accessed by an opening front. Unlike some of its competitors, it had a four speed gear box plus a reverse gear. Its top speed was 56 mph which, given its design and with the sunroof open, was probably a bit hairy!
