Carl FW Borgward was an extraordinary entrepreneur - the kind that easily survive the chaos and upheavals of the Second World War. Success, stubborn, the imagination, but to find a legendary failure in 1961, has built almost everything that could have four wheels and run on the roads. His company has made both cars and trucks, and names Goliath and Borgward, Lloyd was the largest variety of post-war model of a German manufacturer.
From the LP 300 in 1950 - one year after the company was created - Lloyd has become very quickly. The LP 300, which was affectionately known as "Leukoplastbomber" (band-aid bomber), came with a body made of plywood covered with imitation leather. The wheels were great, the machine itself fast enough and has enough space for four people. It 'was much better than some cars a bit' too intimate, like the Isetta and Heinkel Cabin. From 1951 forward, the LP 300 is also available in coupe cabriolet, station wagon and minivan.
In 1954, the lower body has been provided in metal in 1955 dressed in the whole body. The "S" 400S means "steel" of the body.
In 1955, Lloyd had the engine reaches an adult is very 600 cc 4 stroke.
400 2 stroke has been done until 1957.
Lloyd has tried to maintain with the neighbors in the automotive sector. However, like other ambitious projects of the parent Borgward has accumulated a large amount of debt. After the failure in 1961, the factory in Bremen was acquired by Siemens, among others.
