Beautiful Wartburg 1.3 - East German promo film

There used to be a waiting list for these cars...lol
I quite fancy one.
Three-cylinder two-stroke engine with only seven major moving parts (three pistons, three connecting rods and one crankshaft). Production ended in April 1991, and the factory was acquired by Opel.

This channel is brilliant. Subscribed. I was born in 73 and I just can't get enough of the nostalgia.

Back in 1976 I bought a 353 in red. It was the first brand new car that I owned when I was 18yrs old. I liked it, and had if for many years. It was reliable too. I only sold it because spare parts became hard to get, but it went to a good home!

Geez, the scenery mixed with the music and my knowledge of cars made me want to cry. I know communist authority was deceptive and harsh in reality, but the scenery here looked so simple and beautiful, and knowing what was to come soon after this commercial feels almost like a sendoff.

Made in GDR. From VEB Eisenach Automobile. Great! 🙃

Whats the name of that melody. I've heard it before, but i can't recall it.

OK, beautiful car Doktor Uzo. But this is a 1.3 Volkswagen fourstroke and not the aforementioned threecylinder twostroke.

This superb car killed off by Helmut Kohl... who also destroyed most of the DDR's industry, the Palast hotel, Palast der Republik etc. Sadly he was never brought to trial.....
