This East German brand is known for its classic three-box sedans. Convertibles were also made in small series in the 1960s. But here, we have an authentic roadster. The 313/2 was to succeed the 313/1, produced from 1957 to 1960. Requested specifications mentioned not to exceed 850 kilograms for 60 hp. But for technical reasons, this prototype was never produced.

As emblematic of East Germany as the Trabant, the Wartburg 311 was released in 1955, and came in coupe, cabriolet, torpedo and several estates. Most of the cars produced were 4-door sedans. During four years only, between 1956 and 1960, 2,670 units of this 4-seat 311-2 convertible were made, out of a total of 250,000 Wartburg 311s.

This sedan produced in East Germany was launched in 1955 under the name 311. This twin-cylinder two-stroke front-wheel drive was also available in station wagon, coupe and convertible. In 1965 the car was updated and renamed  312. The 15-inch wheels were replaced by 13-inch ones, but the chassis was modernized. Its career did not last long: its successor, the 353, arrived two years later.

The Wartburg 311, launched in 1955 in former East Germany, had many variants, including, between 1959 and 1964, this unusual “torpedo”, reproduced by IST Models (which belongs to IXO). It was very easy to get in and out of the "Kübel ", that is to say “bucket” in German! Only 891 units were produced for the army and the police.
