Total production run ofscooterswas around 170.000 units. (for both Tourist and 14.00 models)

It’s very easy to see thatHeinkel Touristdesigns came for airplane manufacturer and design tables... futuristic, odern looking (for the fifties and sixties that is), ullet proof quality and all in line with the "jet" ages, time that everything had to have something aeronautical or jet like in forms, esign or models... theHeinkel Touristwas not exception at all, ore to be considered as an evolution and a trendsetter as anything else.
