What we have here is a 1965 NSU Wankel Spider Cabriolet with 13,665
miles on the odometer (actual miles unknown). This very rare car -
with only 2,375 built over a four year production period - makes it
a highly desirable collectible today. The car is finished in White
with its original Red and Black Vinyl Interior which is in very
good condition. This NSU cabriolet has a convertible roof that
needs to be replaced. Apart from its water-cooled single rotor
engine and standard front disc brakes, the NSU Wankel Spider was in
most respects unremarkable.
First appearing at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1964, the Spider
featured a two-door cabriolet body based on that of the NSU Sport
Prinz coup?� introduced back in 1959. In addition to the folding
roof, the Spider was distinguishable from the hard top car by a
grill at the front. As with all NSU cars at the time, the engine
was rear-mounted: in order to improve weight distribution, space
was found for the Spider??�s radiator and for its 35-liter (9 US
gal) fuel tank ahead of the driver. The front luggage locker was in
consequence small. There was a second luggage area in the rear of
the car above the engine.
This 1965 NSU Wankel Spider Cabriolet needs a new windshield and a
new top, the engine turns but is not running, there is some rust
which we have photographed but in general, this will make a
terrific and interesting project car. This car is unlikely to last
long so if an antique NSU Spider is something you might be
interested in, act now.
