1958 Goggomobil transporter (van)

The Goggomobil van (transporter) and pickups like these were made between in Germany from 1957 and 1965. These diminutive work vehicles were powered by two cylinder engines of various sizes ranging from 247cc to 400cc.

Goggomobil work vehicles for export had the 400cc engine. The 247cc engine only had 20 HP. Transporters with the 247cc engine would need to be assigned to light loads if the driver was a big heavy person.

What would be the price range for a good condition Goggomobil TL250 Transporter or other models? Where could I locate one to buy?

The Goggomobil was named for the young nephew of the company president, Hans Glas, whose nickname was "Goggi". So Goggi’s Mobil (miniature car) became Goggomobil.

Nice website. Do you have any idea how the Goggomobil got its name?
