DKW AU 1000 DKW 1000 SP Roadster Fully restored and revised, only 1.640 made 1961
Allmän beskrivning :
We rarely see them, especially in this condition. The Auto Union 1000SP Roadster used to be seen as the Ford Thunderbirds little brother. You can quite understand the comparison when you see them side by side. The Auto Union 1000SP Roadster used to be as expensive as the coupé version. Sales of the coupé amounted to 5,004 whilst the Roadster only clocked up 1,640 sales. In today's market that means the Roadster is worth a lot more than the closed version. Despite its modest size Auto Union marketed the 1000SP Roadster as a proper luxury product. That also still happens to be the strategy of her successor, Audi. The Auto Union 1000SP was also the last Auto Union powered by a 3 cylinder 2-stroke engine. All subsequent models were fitted with 4-stroke engines. The car has recently undergone a full Nut & Bolt restoration. The work is of an exceptionally high level, the quality of which just jumps out at you. Underneath the car is as beautiful as on top. There is all new wonderfully gleaming brightwork. The bodywork looks great and has nice and thin, original and correctly aligned panelwork. The car has also been fitted with two extra spotlights. During the restoration, the bodywork was fully resprayed in Gun Metal Grey. No restoration is complete without a new hood and that is the reason we see the lovely black pristine hood, providing a secure cover when needed. For those days you want to drive around exposed to nothing but the air around you there is a. red tonneau cover for you to use, matching the red leather upholstery. It is evident the car has been completely reupholstered with a keen eye to detail and authenticity. The Auto Union 1000SP Roadster is not just a pretty face and a joy to behold especially in this particular finish, it also has the road manners to go with its sporty appearance. Both engine and transmission were fully rebuilt and now function perfectly. Driving is therefore a feast. It starts the moment you turn the key. The engine produces that typical 2-stroke sound, immediately telling you to have something special under the bonnet. The gear change is smooth and precise. The engine produces 55 Ps at 4,500 revs, enough to propel the 1000SP Roadster to a top speed of 140km/hr. Whilst you can effortlessly keep up with modern traffic, the motorway is not the real domain of the Auto Union 1000SP Roadster. Motoring over B-roads whilst enjoying an engine that will never come back again, is where the Auto Union 1000SP Roadster comes into its own. This is a wonderful and rare, fully restored and mechanically rebuilt Auto Union 1000SP Roadster in prime condition. Gallery Aaldering is Europe’s leading Classic Cars specialist since 1975!

om DKW
Kära damer och herrar, låt mig ta er med på en resa genom historien om DKW, den tyska bil- och motorcykeltillverkaren som lyste upp den globala fordonsvärlden som en lysande stjärna. Vi kommer att titta på DKWs modeller och jämföra dem med deras konkurrenter, särskilt VW Bubblan. Dessutom ska vi utforska hur DKW Schnellaster blev en föregångsstjärna för moderna framhjulsdrivna transportfordon.Historien om DKW börjar i början av 1900-talet när de började som tillverkare av motorcyklar och tvåtaktsmotorer. Men DKW nöjde sig inte med två hjul. De gjorde entré i världen av fyrhjulsfordon och gjorde det med en innovation som skulle ha en långvarig inverkan på fordonsindustrin: framhjulsdrift.
Medan andra tillverkare som VW föredrog bakhjulsdrift, valde DKW framhjulsdrift och presenterade stolt DKW F1. Denna modell låg före sin tid, och dess smidighet och effektivitet överträffade konkurrenterna. VW Bubblan, en allvarlig konkurrent, verkade nästan gammalmodig i jämförelse.
DKW F1 var en småbil med enastående hantering, som om den hade antagit rollen som David i kampen mot de gigantiska skräckinjagande Goliaterna i bilindustrin. Det var som om DKW hade banat en ny väg i djungeln av bilvärlden.
Men den verkliga hjälten i DKWs historia är Schnellaster, en liten transportbil som introducerades på 1950-talet. Denna nyttofordon använde framhjulsdrift och skapade därmed grunden för moderna framhjulsdrivna transportfordon. Det var pionjären som banade vägen för transportfordon och skåpbilar som vi ser på våra vägar idag.
Schnellaster kunde hantera laster som en jätte och rörde sig med lätthet som en dansare. Dess tvåtaktsmotor var pålitlig och ekonomisk, och den kunde transportera gods som om den hade förmågan att ta på sig arbetsuppgifterna för en hel fordonsflotta.
Idag, när du ser en modern framhjulsdriven transportbil, bör du komma ihåg DKW och deras Schnellaster. DKW har inte bara skrivit historia, utan har också definitivt påverkat framtidens nyttofordon.
I en värld av fordonsjättar var DKW den djärva pionjären som berikade fordonsindustrin med innovationer och praktiska lösningar. Deras modeller kanske hamnade i skuggan av vissa andra tillverkare, men de har utan tvekan lämnat ett bestående intryck i fordonsvärlden.
