Classic Cars and Coffee - Sunday 6th February 2022


The first Classic Cars and Coffee for the year was held on 6th February 2022. The weather was very hot!

I wasn't there are the start - of course - but the organizers and others took lots of photos.

James has recently acquired his IWL Berlin and this was the first time we were able to get the two scooters together. It's quite noticeable how much larger the Troll is compared to the Berlin.

The Berlin was IWL's best selling and most beloved scooter. It is known in Germany as 'the Legend from Ludwigsfeld.' It was introduced in 1959 and remained in production until 1963. It was powered by a 150cc engine derived from the DKW RT125 motor that had been redeveloped by IWL. In 1963 the Berlin was replaced by the larger touring scooter, the Troll. The Troll shared many features with MZ motorcycles of the period, including its engine. https://dkwautounionproject.blogspot.com/2020/05/iwl-scooters-legend-from-ludwigsfelde.html

It's great to see there is another IWL in Perth. That makes two.
