springs. There were essentially three development phases for the Lloyd 400, and the first batch of cars was delivered with drum brakes of 180 millimetres (7.1 in) diameter, controlled via a cable linkage. From March 1953, however, a hydraulic linkage mechanism was installed, and on cars produced after August 1955 the diameter of the brake drums was increased to 200 millimetres (7.9 in). The mechanically controlled hand brake worked on the front wheels.
284:, was launched in April 1956. Its stripped down specification meant the removal of hub caps and bumpers, and there was no backrest for passengers in the back. The reduced size and power of the engine in the Lloyd 250 nevertheless enabled it to be driven legally with a "Class IV" driving license, meaning that in West Germany it could be driven by people who had not yet passed a standard driving test.
269:. Space was at a premium and the 25 litres (5.5 imp gal; 6.6 US gal) fuel tank was accommodated ahead of the bulkhead underneath the front hood/bonnet in a space shared with the engine and the six-volt battery. Power was fed to the front wheels via a three-speed manual gear box: there was no synchromesh.

Lloyd themselves still had no heavy presses for stamping body panels from sheet steel. Body panels were bought in, delivered in bare-metal form to the Lloyd factory in Bremen for finishing, assembly and painting. Most of the cars produced were LP400 Limousine (saloon/sedan) bodied cars. A LS400 Kombi

of which the Lloyd 400 was in many respects an upgraded version. However, only about 1,000 cars had been produced before the skins on the wing panels were replaced with steel panels in March 1953. From
January 1954 the bonnet/hood and boot/trunk lids were also formed of sheet steel, and cars produced

with a horizontal-flow Solex 30 BFRH carburetor. The engine was mounted transversely. The engine was based on that of the Lloyd 300, but the cylinder bore (diameter) was increased by 8 millimetres (0.31 in) to 62 millimetres (2.4 in). The resulting engine capacity of 386cc provided for a

mechanism which was conventional at the time. It required 2¼ turns between opposite locks: the turning circle was 11 m (36 ft). The front wheels were suspended by two laterally mounted leaf springs. At the back there was a swing axle with semi-elliptical longitudinally configured leaf

In 1953 the Lloyd LP400 (saloon/sedan) came with a manufacturer's recommended price of DM 3,780, while the Kombi was priced at DM 3,970. By
September 1955, supported by that year's healthy sales volumes, and presumably in response to pressure from the market, the price of the LP400 was down to
265:. The car was fueled using "regular" grade petrol/gasoline, mixed in the ratio of 25:1 with oil, reflecting the requirements of the "motorbike-style" two-stroke engine. When driven normally the Lloyd 400 consumed fuel significantly more frugally than West Germany's best selling small car, the

248:, the full name of the Lloyd 400 featured a two letter prefix that identified the body shape as follows: LP400 ("Limousine" / saloon), LK400 (panel van) and LS400 (estate). From August 1955 an LC400 ("Cabrio-Limousine" / cabriolet saloon) was also offered.

Structural changes through the model life define the three phases of the Lloyd 400's production. The car was launched with a timber frame body, clad in a synthetic-leather outer skin, reflecting the structural underpinnings of the

maximum power output of 13 PS (9.6 kW) at 3,750 rpm. The top speed listed was 75 km/h (47 mph). Despite the leisurely performance figures, the Lloyd 400 was considerably faster and more powerful than
