Poor Ossies (East Germans) - they had to order one and wait up to 12 
years for it.

Another legend:  They had heated rear windows too - to prevent you 
getting frozen fingers when push-starting them in winter :-)

Plenty of them still around here in Germany - they can't rust, the 
chasis and bodywork are mostly wood and plastic and 2-stroke engines 
last for ever

My favourite is the jeep version the NVA (East German Army) used to use.
