Connoisseurs will immediately recognize that this is not a 1958 311 Wartburg Camping. As with so many vehicles in the GDR, this one also received a body change during its life. The owner from the greater Berlin area opted for a standard version and a 312 1,000 cc engine. We are always impressed by the driving pleasure of this elegant two-stroke engine.
