An NSU Just for You!
If this ain't the Craigslist find of the day, we don't know what is. Yes, it's an NSU Prinz from 1960. The seller seems to be in the know about classic Teutonic microcars, as he's tagged the post with Goggomobil. He also notes that you cannot drive the adorable slice of Neckarsulmium back to your abode from his place…
With Or Without NSU
Today we have decided that we would like nothing more this evening to blast off up the coast in a souped up NSU TT as the sun dips behind the waves of the blue, blue Pacific.

NSU! Killed by Wankel Obsession!
NSU started out as a sewing machine company in 1873, quickly moved into bicycles, and then into motorcycles and cars. Absorbed by VW in 1970 after investing too much money in rotary engines with too little return, the Audi factory in Neckarsulm still sits at the corner of NSU-Strasse and Felix Wankel Strasse, a…
