NSU RO80

[hot metal]

Saw one of these today sadly in a breakers yard. It looked very sound and was not missing too many parts ( windscreen smashed and dash ripped out ) bonnet was firmly shut so it may have had an engine still,I didn`t have time to poke around too much.
It seems such a shame that a car such as this can be scrapped without a thought.

Sorry no pictures.

I owned one of these in the early 1970's, an amazing car and very advanced.

My dad would never believe we were cruising at 85 as the car was so refined.

Years ahead of it's time and a pity they never really sorted the engine while it was in production.
