This Australian assembled ‘Dart’ was manufactured in 1960 and stands as only 1 of 700 ever produced. Paired to a 4-speed manual gearbox, the 300cc two- cylinder engine is only showing 19,799 miles against the odometer.
Finished in a Gloss Red exterior over a black and grey two-tone interior design, this example has been meticulously maintained over the years and presents in excellent condition. In 1959 the floor- pans were sourced out of Germany, where the vehicle travelled and then was released in 1960.
Accompanying this vehicle is the original workshop manual and service booklet with a Classic & Sports car magazine that features this vehicle.
The Goggomobil Dart was manufactured between 1959 through until September 1961. This ‘microcar’ was developed in Australia by a Sydney company Buckle Motors Pty Ltd, by Bill Buckle and was based off the chassis and mechanical components of the German Goggomobil microcar, a product of ‘Hans Glas’, in Germany.
The Australian Dart series featured a fibreglass, two-seater open body and came in weighing only 345kg. The Australian release was offered in either a 300cc or 400cc engine and most were built without doors.
