This car is in fact a VW K 70, a restored 1972`car. None of the 23 NSU K 70-prototypes has survived. The last was crushed in 1971. This car is just pimped as the NSU, because the owner is a strong NSU-fan. Hardcore NSU-freaks are hating VW/Audi. They often scrach off all visible VW-logos from their K 70, which is a full accepted member of the NSU-family.
To get such a NSU-K 70-looking grille, you have to break 3 VW K 70-grilles into pieces and puzzle the splinters for one complete without the hole for the VW-badge.

Hi Ingo,

Thanks for jumping in and giving us an insight into the weird world of the NSU 'buffer'.

Hi Al,

no problem, we K 70-freaks hold together worldwide ;) More K 70-pics you can find on our club-page http://www.k70-club.de/

@Al: has Philippe send my answers to your emails some months ago? You are using a hotmail-address, this is a big problem for me. My Freenet-account always makes big problems with answering to hotmail-accounts. Have you the chance, if you contact me the next time, to use annother email-address? This would be better.
