Trojan Trojan 200 History

After a period producing only commercial vehicles, Trojan was purchased in 1959 by Peter Agg, who secured a licence from the German firm Heinkel to manufacture the Heinkel Kabine bubble car in Britain. Sold as the Trojan 200, it was a compact three-wheeler (or optionally four-wheel) microcar powered by a small single-cylinder four-stroke engine, aimed squarely at post-war Britain's demand for cheap personal transport.

The Trojan 200 was the final passenger car to carry the Trojan badge; production ran from 1960 to 1965. The company's attention then turned to the Elva Courier sports car and, subsequently, to building McLaren-Elva racing cars — a very different world from the economy motoring Hounsfield had championed four decades earlier.
