The Heinkel Kabine was a microcar designed by Heinkel Flugzeugwerke and built by them from 1956 to 1958. Production was transferred under licence to Dundalk Engineering Company in Ireland in 1958 but the licence was withdrawn shortly afterward due to poor quality control Production restarted in 1960, again under licence, under the Trojan 200 name by Trojan Cars Ltd. in the UK, and continued until 1966.

Kabines and Trojans were also assembled under licence by Los Cedros S.A. [http://www.microautos.com.ar/history.html Scooter and Microcar Club of Argentina: Microcar's History] ] and Isard Argentina S.A. [http://www.heinkel-trojan-club.co.uk/newsletter.htm Heinkel-Trojan Club Newsletter: Editorial Ramblings - Argentinean Production] ] in Argentina.

Production began in March 1956 with the Kabine Model 150, using the 174 cc 9.2 hp single cylinder four-stroke engine that powered the Heinkel Tourist scooter. [http://homepages.tesco.net/~heinkeljb/OldHTCltd/Main.htm THE HEINKEL TROJAN CLUB LTD - Brief History of the Heinkel Trojan Cars and Heinkel Scooters] ] . In October 1956, Heinkel introduced the Kabine Model 153 (with three wheels) and the Kabine Model 154 (with four wheels), both with 204 cc engines. The engines in these models were later reduced in capactiy to 198 cc for insurance purposes.

Access to the interior was by an opening front but in order not to infringe BMW's patent used on the Isetta the steering wheel did not move with the door. However it did feature a reverse gear unlike some other bubble cars.
