2-cylinder DKW engine or 3-cylinder 2-stroke?  The latter sounds more likely in 1958

My Dutch source quotes the engine as a 'tweecilinder DKW' but I suppose that could be inaccurate.

Possibly an accurate description of DKW's twin-cylinder engine!
Thanks for putting a smile on my face this morning Otto.  ;D

Having checked (which I should have done before posting  :sigh: ) I see that DKW were marketing the 2-cylinder F89 as late as 1954 so a 2-cylinder engine is totally feasible.
