Tiny 1959 German Moulded FG Trailer

[Andrew Gibbens]

I thought you guys might like to see this trailer that a British microcar enthusiast has just purchased. It is a 1959 PEKA made, probably in Germany, by Nord-Sud-Plastik and is much like a scaled-down Eriba Puck. It's 12.5 feet long overall and the 66" tall owner can just stand up inside without raising the pop-top. Impressively, it weighs just 240kg empty - that's 530 pounds.

That's very cool. Great potential. It would be nice to see what he does with it. Hint, hint. Nudge, nudge. Say no more!

WOW, any inside pics available. And take a look at those tiny tail lights!

I wish the micro car guy would post interior pic's as well!


Tell the micro car guy, congrats on the nice find!

Andrew, we need more picture! What an interesting tiny trailer.

Sorry, I don't think there will be any more info about this trailer. It has been bought by a guy who specialises in microcars (think BMW Isettas) because he found it and it needed saving, but it needs fiberglass work to replace some internal stiffeners whose failure is causing a partial collapse - that blue string is actually reinforcement for the tow home!

So he'll be selling it on to someone who can do the necessary work and I expect contact will be lost. But it's good to see what may be the only remaining example of this trailer saved from a worse fate.

I have to say, I love European trailers! FG and even non FG, the shapes & curves appeal strongly to me! Thanks Andrew for sharing, this is a really neat trailer & I'm glad that it will be restored & appreciated!

Very interesting. Kind of reminds me of a fiberglass underground oil tank with windows. I would like to see it cleaned up.
