Trabant Car, Lostwithiel, Cornwall. September 1991
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print captured by photographer Jonathan Barker, we are transported back to the quaint town of Lostwithiel in Cornwall during September 1991. The focal point of the image is a vibrant 1975 Trabant car that stands out against its surroundings with its unique charm and undeniable presence. The story behind this photograph revolves around Dirk Krueger and Andrea Bein, two adventurous students hailing from the former East Germany. Determined to explore new horizons, they embarked on an unforgettable journey to Cornwall in their beloved Trabant. This iconic vehicle is notorious for being one of the least environmentally friendly cars ever produced but has gained a cult following due to its distinctive design. Dirk and Andrea's visit was not merely for leisure; they attended an English course in Plymouth before venturing further westward to reconnect with friends residing in Lostwithiel. Little did they know that their arrival marked a significant milestone as it was the first time a Trabby had graced the roads of southwest Britain. The composition showcases the plastic-bodied car illuminated under spotlights, emphasizing both its unconventional construction and individuality amidst traditional British transport options. This snapshot encapsulates a moment frozen in time when cultures collided and friendships were forged through shared experiences. This evocative print serves as a reminder of how even unconventional modes of transportation can leave lasting imprints on our memories while highlighting our collective fascination with nostalgia and automotive history.
