Summary of the car

For sale is a well-maintained Auto Union 1000 S from 1963 in light blue with a blue-grey fabric interior. The vehicle has been in 3rd hand in the seller's possession since 2015. It has been carefully maintained during this time, including a renewal of the fuel tank and overhaul of the brake system including replacement of the brake fluid. An expert report from 2015 gives the car a grade of 2. The DKW is immediately ready to drive, but is currently not registered. Signs of use due to age hardly detract from the positive overall impression. An authentic classic that will appeal to collectors and enthusiasts alike is up for auction here.
