Dutch numberplate?

For some reason i think it might be a NSU powered Special.

But I have not been able to find any Info on it...

You must be psychic  ;D  It indeed has an NSU engine.

And the numberplate is Dutch  ;)

Is it a Ad den Teuling Protos?
Title: Re: GG-9
Post by: guido66 on July 14, 2009, 05:39:36 PM
 I had never heard of Ad den Teuling. Just googled him and found that I live less then 30km away  ::)

Anyway, it's not a car from him.

He used to vintage race a Ginetta G4 at Zandvoort.

And as far as I know he was involved in a couple of NSU specials.

One for Wagenaar Hummelink ( that one was developed and changed for Slalom Racing and I believe it still runs but now as a monoposto with a watercooled VW engine ), and an other one that stayed on the track.

I think that one was found not too long ago, so I thought it might be it.


But its not.... ;D


Maybe I'll remember where I saw this one... ;)

There was a NSU powered Terrapin ( High Speed Low Cost, Allan Stanniforth ) that ended up in Holland.

Could that be it?

That's not it either. The car wasn't made in the Netherlands.
