Oh man, this reminds me so much of a car I'm very familiar with, but it is not it. Probably the same size, but either  more modern, or better equipped.

I know what that is.

This weeks quiz was hard not only for you guys also for myself. The car that I was looking for was a 1961 NSU Prinz III (Type 40), but..... The NSU Prinz II looks so close that it s very hard to decide which one is which. So The answer is 1959 - 1961 NSU Prinz II/III.

Well done

[DonW]

I eventually got that it was a type III on the basis that the car is clearly at a fairly recent show, and an enthusiast such as the owner clearly is would have chosen the type III for it's more powerful engine, better for use in modern traffic!

Good challenge, thanks Mike!

The only discernible differences I could find between the models was the colour of the turn signals (amber on the later models) and the size and font of the fender script. Took me three tries before Michael was happy?

And isn't it cute! 

It looks like all it wants is a saucer of milk.

Looks alot like some of the old Renaults I used to see in the hood.

I knew straight away what this was, hehe! ..though I did have to do some research on what model. My neighbour when I was a kid was a big NSU fan, he had two NSU Ro80's fitted with a Ford V4 engine and one of these Prinz II rusting away in his garden. He also had an incredibly rusty FSO Polonez he drove everyday.
