This is a car I photographed at the Footman James Classic Car Show Manchester at EventCity in September 2018.
It's a 1984 Wartburg 353, a car produced in the former BMW plant in Eisenach in the German Democratic Republic - more commonly known as East Germany. After the partition of Germany in 1945 they continued to make cars in the factory under the BMW name, but after legal action in 1952 the name was changed to EMW - Eisenacher Motoren Werk as opposed to the Bayerische Motoren Werke of BMW. The Wartburg 353, known as the Wartburg Knight in the UK, has a 993cc two-stroke 3 cylinder engine and was produced from 1966 to 1988.
