An English farmer has been ordered to get rid of his collection of Trabants after they sparked a Cold War in his village in the Peak District National Park.

Graham Goodall, 58, claims to have the world's largest private collection of the distinctive East German car that once symbolised a divided Europe.



But many of his neighbours in the picturesque village of Middleton-by-Youlgreave aren't too keen on their corner of one of England's most popular national parks being turned into an alfresco car museum.



The national park has issued a notice ordering Mr Goodall to get rid of at least 40 of his 49 cars. But he has vowed to take his case to the European Court of Human Rights.

"I don't know what all the fuss is about," he said. "There are four parked in the gateway, but all the others are down the garden out of sight. They are wonderful cars, so simple. Their engines have only five moving parts - and they do 70 miles to the gallon (four litres per 100 kilometres). You can go down the road in a Mercedes or a Rolls and nobody will notice, but if you drive past in a Trabby people wave and smile.

"I think there are thousands - if not millions - of people in this country who will agree that my fundamental human rights are under attack."



A National Park Authority spokesman said it had received complaints from residents and the parish council. "The site is untidy and has a detrimental effect in what is an important conservation area," he said.

Mr Goodall fell in love with Trabants on a visit to Berlin in 1987. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, he began driving the two-stroke-engined cars back to Britain and has since become Britain's biggest Trabant dealer.

Pride of place at his Derbyshire farm goes to the Kubelwagen, a rare Trabant used by border guards. It was finished in khaki with East German army badges, and includes a heater independent of the engine so that guards did not freeze while on duty.
