AUTO UNION 1000SP

Sports 2-seater coupÈ.

Only touring car to carry this name, but really just the good old three cylinder DKW tuned to give 55bhp and dressed up by Baur to look like a mini-Thunderbird. Front disc brakes from 1962. Rare and little known here, so you might find a clean one for a song.
