Lloyd Alexander TS
Lloyd Motoren Werke produced the Alexander as their final and most modern model before the brand's demise. The car featured minimalist construction with a two-stroke twin-cylinder engine mounted transversely driving the front wheels. Despite only 25 horsepower, the lightweight construction allowed acceptable performance for city use. The Alexander represented the end of an era for ultra-economy German cars as prosperity grew and buyers demanded more refinement. When parent company Borgward collapsed in 1961, Lloyd production ceased immediately, making these quirky little sedans rare today.
Extremely rare with very few surviving examples worldwide. Two-stroke twin engine is underpowered even by period standards. Parts availability is virtually zero. Rust is endemic in survivors. Only suitable for collectors of obscure microcar marques.
Only 17,651 units produced from 1958-1961, making it quite rare. Production ended abruptly with Borgward's collapse. The Alexander was Lloyd's attempt to move upmarket from the earlier LP models. Station wagon variant was also offered but rarely seen today.
