1967 BARKAS B1000 Kombi 8 Sitze Minibus

The B1000 was quite modern at the time of its presentation in 1961. Only the 2-stroke power source was already a bit outdated.

During her almost 30-year lifetime the B1000 remained unchanged. Only in Autumn 1989 the old Wartburg 2-stroke engine was replaced by a 4-stroke 1.3L engine.

This new engine didn't brought a solution for the big amounts of unsold vans in 1990. In this last year the curtain fell for good for IFA Barkas.
