Wow.  Only 10 minutes!  That's got to be some kind of record.  Way to go JMC.  You are exactly correct.

This 1960 Lloyd LT600 van is offered by a Mircrocar restoration shop who states that in his 22 years in business he has never seen another one. He has heard that only 17 were ever made, but that is so far unsubstantiated. This one is in good cosmetic shape but needs the kind of mechanical work that makes us guess it has been sitting for a good while (clutch, brakes, door adjustments, etc). Find it on eBay in Portland, Oregon with no reserve!

From 1955 to 1961 there were built 14769 LT 600. They are quite rare today, but I've seen at least 4 different ones around Hamburg. Maybe, Pan Am just bought 17.

Well, at any rate, there couldn't have been many in US even when they were new.
