Bucky Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Not familiar with NSU. Where are they from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisR Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 NSU was a German brand and later incorporated into Audi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisdonm Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 They were made in Neckelzum Germany. I actually road raced an NSU Spyder once and a NSU 1000Tts many times. The Tts looked like a 3/4 scale 1960 Corvair and was powered by an inline, air cooled, 4 cylinder Mammouth Motorcycle engine made by Munch.

Never thought I would know more than you Bill but I saw one at the 1964 London Motor Show that I attended as a car-mad teenager. steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you will find that the Munch Mammoth used an in-line air cooled 4 cylinder overhead cam engine made by NSU. ?

Richard Bartrop Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 (edited) I first found out about this car in an old issue of Popular Science. Edited January 6, 2020 by Richard Bartrop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
