One for the rookies.

For one point, please respond and identify this car.

Looks like an NSU 1000 of the late 60s. I thought the Prinz was a good little car.

A regular NSU 1000 would be a bit too easy, even for a rookie puzzle. Locked for you to find out what is different.

Sadly not going to get this one. Please unlock.

Is the difference in powertrain?

Wendax · November 12, 2019, 02:12:19 AM

No, technically it should be like a common NSU 1000.

Some were made under licence in Sarajevo, Cairo and Argentina but none, I think, with the distinctive oval headlights. Jacques Tati had a 1000 in the film Trafic but this isn't it and he isn't the driver in the photograph.

Nothing to do with Jacques Tati, but follow your first thought. It is a NSU built outside Germany.
Locked for you.

I've found a picture of an NSU 1000 "registered in Beograd" with the oval headlights, so I guess the answer is Sarajevo.

Wendax · November 12, 2019, 05:17:29 PM

The car has a name of its own.

Lavrakas · November 13, 2019, 02:55:09 AM

NSU Pretis 1000.

Wendax · November 13, 2019, 06:33:55 AM

That's it.
