AU 1000 SP with rear-mounted engine?

Title: Re: Wendax 4128
Post by: Wendax on October 24, 2023, 08:39:16 AM

It is based on an Auto Union 1000, but not a Sp and not rear-engined.

Lüscher DKW?

Locked for you to find the full name of its builder and of the car (at least what it was called quite recently).

Title: Re: Wendax 4128
Post by: fromwien on November 24, 2023, 05:40:38 AM

The full name of the builder is Ernst Lüscher (Gontenschwil, Switzerland)
On the attached photo from 2023 I could read the designation, "Auto Union Spezial 1000"
