Model: Trabant 601

The Trabant is an automobile that was produced by former East German auto maker VEB Sachsenring Automobilwerke Zwickau in Zwickau, Sachsen. It was the most common vehicle in East Germany, and was also exported to countries both inside and outside the communist bloc. The main selling points was that it had room for four adults and luggage in a compact, light and durable shell and that it was fast.
The name, meaning 'satellite' in German, was inspired by Soviet Sputnik. The cars are often referred to as the Trabbi or Trabi, pronounced trubbee.
On the other hand, the most curious is that this year, I found the same yellow model in my own city (Valencia, Spain), but this model is from Sofia (Bulgaria).
