In the 1950s, when its customers increasingly wanted a car instead of a motorbike, the motorcycle and agricultural machinery manufacturer Hans Glas GmbH decided to launch a small car on the market. The Goggomobil, which owes its name to the nickname of one of the founder’s grandchildren, was introduced in 1954. The first Model T had a minimalist design, was only available in the colour “Sahara beige” and offered no comfort at all. It was not until 1957 that the four-seater saloon was fitted with, among other things, a second windscreen wiper and crank windows. A fan-cooled 0.25 litre two-cylinder two-stroke engine was installed under the supporting sheet steel body. The four-speed transmission was operated manually with a centre shift lever in an open shift gate. From 1957 a second version of the vehicle was offered: a coupe with the designation TS. This version, unlike the sedan, had two normal seats at the front, two additional jump seats at the rear and a panorama rear window. Between 1957 and 1965 the model TL was built. The small van had two sliding doors and a tailgate and was also available with an open loading area. By the end of production in 1969, three years after the company had been taken over by BMW, over 280,000 vehicles had been produced and also successfully exported to 36 other countries.
