You know I have a soft spot for the NSU Sport Prinz -and you should- too since they were one of the few other Scaglione designs to come out of the BAT exercise, with the first few hundred being built by Bertone. Â This one is a bit frightening, but not too far gone me thinks. Â More importantly, check out the yard it’s in.
Comprehensive bumper! Â This is a short car -even for it’s day. Â Who’s hiding in the back ground?
If this was a full sized car with decent power…
Some buddies in the background there… pair of Giulietta Spiders!
These tail lights look a lot like Sprint tail lights. Â
Could almost be a Sprint interior. Â Door interfaces with the car similarly in an SS.
Anyone here have one of these? Â I’d have to have a Bertone bult one!
Looks like there’s a a big Healey in the yard too
and a Mercedes 220SEb, wonder if its a convertible (my alternative love to Giuliettas!)

NSU bought 2 or 3 low-nose SS cars directly from Alfa in 1959, & there were rumours of NSU buying the whole company around the same time

NSU did the Necker Fiat’s and I believe was the German agent who did finally assembly on German bound Giulietta’s in a similar fashion that Renault and Willy’s Overland did for France and Mexico respectively.

Thinking of Giuliettas, there are 4 nice -looking examples in the auction in Paris on Sunday November 11th; a 750 series Sprint Normale, a 101 series Sprint Veloce and two Spiders (1 normale and 1 veloce)
I can’t believe you now have ads.
Not my doing. WordPress puts ads in. I have to pay to opt out of having ads.
I can live with them
Yeah, the similarities to the Sprint cockpit are amazing.
I’ve got one! early bertone,pretty rough,needs a rear bumper and a resto.
Where is it/are you?
