I remember, that around 1988 I had talked with one guy of that company. The conversion-kits were made for reducing the engines on 250 ccm. It was a possibility for people, who had only an old (pre 1950) drivers-license for small motor-bikes. They were allowed to drive any vehicle up to 250 ccm. One reason, why the most German micro-cars of the 50ies had engines in that size. 250 ccm-engines (orign for the Goggomobil) were produced until the 80ies by a wery few old mechanics in the former Borgward-factory in Bremen. This little manufacturing was closed, when Mercedes Benz had started to produce in that plant the 190 [W201]. Very popular for conversing this "small block"-engine were -after the Goggomobil-production was stopped in 1969- the Fiat 500, the 126 and mainly the NSU Prinz 4.
