When we launched the Heinkel Kabine recently with a right hand drive feature, we announced a left hand drive version would be coming along soon. And here it is! For our second release of the 1:18th scale Heinkel from the mid 1950s, we have modelled the German microcar in bright red, registered 365 HRT. It comes with a black roof and lots of contrasting silver trim. The interior reveals dark grey and tartan seating, black floor and cream gear knob and steering wheel.
The original Heinkel Kabine which was designed by the famous German aircraft manufacturers was made with a steel unit body and the interior was accessed by an opening front. Unlike some of its competitors, it had a four speed gear box plus a reverse gear. Its top speed was 56 mph which in those days was probably awe-inspiring, especially if you opened up the sunroof!
