Dundalk saw the writing on the wall and decided to sell.<br /><br /><br />Peter Agg, Lambretta distributor for Britain since 1950, had purchased the long-lived commercial vehicle firm of Trojan of Croydon in Surrey in 1959. He negotiated the deal for the manufacturing of the Heinkel-I by Trojan, while getting the supply of motors from Heinkel themselves. Essentially similar to the German Heinkel and Irish Heinkel-I, the Trojan was built with some British-sourced components such as Armstrong shocks, Wilmot-Breeden latches and Wipac or Miller lamps. Vent Windows were Plexiglas. A right-hand-drive version was built, but the door was still hinged on the left. Three AND Four wheel versions were made.<br /><br />The car did actually sell quite well, despite its late arrival and plans were even made to expand the range with a commercial light delivery van, of which six or so were built. <a href="http://microcarmuseum.com/tour/trojan-2.html"><strong>http://microcarmuseum.com/tour/trojan-2.html</strong></a><strong> </strong>also has a full gallery of a museum restored Trojan<strong> </strong><br /><br /><strong>WANT!</strong></div>
