DKW AU 1000 SP Coupé

Vehicle Description

An exceptionally well-maintained DKW AU 1000 S Coupé from October 1959 with an original mileage of only 52,000 kilometers is for sale. The vehicle comes from its first owner and is in remarkably authentic condition. All essential vehicle parts are original and preserve the unadulterated historical character of this rare coupé from DKW.

Around 20 years ago, the vehicle underwent a comprehensive and professional restoration. This work included a complete engine overhaul, replacement of the brake system, and professional refurbishment of the interior and paintwork. The restoration was carried out with great care and was consistently based on the original factory condition, without distorting the authentic character.

Technology & equipment

· Original 6-volt electrical system

Both technically and visually, the coupé is in very impressive condition. The characteristic two-stroke engine gives the vehicle an unmistakable sound and charm that is rarely experienced in such originality today.

Condition & Authenticity
The interior is well maintained, harmonious, and true to the original. The materials, colors, and details convey an authentic driving experience from the late 1950s. The exterior of the coupé also impresses with its harmonious lines and high-quality paintwork, which perfectly underlines the elegant character of this model.

Conclusion
An exceptionally well-preserved and largely original DKW AU 1000 S Coupé from its first owner. The professional restoration, low mileage, and high degree of originality make this vehicle a real rarity.
