1960 Lloyd LT600
Lloyd Motoren Werke began building cars and light trucks in 1950, initially using wood and fabric in the manufacturing of the vehicles due to the lack of steel. �For several years in the 1950's, they were number three in sales behind Volkswagen and Opel, helping fill the market driven need for small and affordable cars.� Over the course of 11 years, Llloyd produced nearly 20 models, all two cylinder driven and consisting of everything from panel vans to estates to a cabrio/limousine.�
For consignment, a 1960 Lloyd LT600 with 29,146 shown, but the true miles are unknown.� This one was built for the American market and has spent most of its life in storage although the engine was rebuilt in the 80's.� As our consignor states, this micro van is considered by many as one of the earliest iterations of a multipurpose vehicle or minivan.�
Exterior
Before we get into the quirky cuteness of the van, we'll note its bright teal, certainly a happy color for a car that makes you smile.� Wide set headlights are accentuated by the body lines and curvature of the small�louvered hood while a low grin adorns the face with white bumper guards that resemble tusks.� The straight shoulder line frames windows above it in full greenhouse effect. �Diminutive wheels, 13-inch in this case, carry the van and wear Lloyd logo branded hubcaps.� From the back, this van takes us right back to amusement park days, riding in circles and following a car with simple round tail lights.� White bumpers are back here too, flanking the cargo door while the very cool scripted Lloyd emblem takes its place above the right lights.� A white vinyl soft top sits on the roof and is in good shape.� Some of the metalwork and emblems are pitted and would benefit from restoration and the body itself is rife with cracking in the paint, scratches, filler, and chips.�
Interior
Light colored cloth panels cover the inner doors, which open suicide style, and on the walls between the wood construction and over the wheel wells.� It's all a bit tired, much of it is stained and the headliner above is especially soiled.� Meanwhile, the cloth teal bucket seats in front and bench in back are in nice shape comparatively. �A white plastic steering wheel greets the driver and with a simple control panel� and speedometer in front, backed by a woodgrain bedecked dash.� The floor is covered in a fitted rubber mat, uniquely shaped to fit the Lloyd contouring around the inner fender wells their make their way into the footwell.�
Drivetrain
Under the hood and well within reach is the 596cc 2 cylinder engine putting out 20 horsepower, fueled by a 1-barrel carburetor and tied to a 3-speed manual transmission that keeps power in the front with 4.176 gears.� Drum brakes are on all four wheels.�
Undercarriage
Surface rust covers much of the underside and there is some of the invasive stuff on the inner rocker panels.� The underside is dry and the CV boots are intact, while a single exhaust enters a clean stock style muffler, then heads to the back where it comes out from the shadows with a showy chrome tip.� Transverse leaf springs are found front and rear and in this case, the rear is independent leaf sprung.�
Drive-Ability
Unlike many micro cars, the seats and cabin feel relatively normal and reminds us of a VW bus but with some of the car ahead of the windshield.� It's not going to win any races, but that was never the intent as it's more of a novelty car today and would be a fantastic parade car.� The few functions available all worked as they should.� While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.�
You spent hours polishing your custom hot rod and getting up early to get to the car show. �A final wipe down and it's clean and ready for an admiring audience. �You're all set to answer questions and have your show plaque out front, proudly displaying your restoration. �First place is yours for the taking! �Then this Lloyd pulls in and the crowd suddenly shifts.� Others walk by you, mouths agape as they fixate on the teal ride in front of them.� You're suddenly invisible.� And another micro van steals the show!� Buy this Lloyd.� Win over the crowd.� Spread smiles.
