With the Ro 80, NSU presented a milestone in automotive development that made all other cars look outdated when it was unveiled in the fall of 1967. Its design was years ahead of other manufacturers and still looks fresh today. The chassis was very modern at the time, and the engine was supposed to open the door to a new world of propulsion. Unfortunately, both the workshops and the management were ultimately overwhelmed and the plan did not work out.

After the initial problems – mainly with the drive technology – countless Ro 80s proved the durability of the concept.

Our car was exported to Spain in the summer of 1975 and driven there by its first owner until the end of 1986. The second owner, a workshop owner, kept it until early 1991 and sold it to a friend, who then owned the NSU until 2023 and sold it when it was over 80 years old. This is how the car made its way back to Germany.

The good climatic conditions ensured that the car never had to be welded and is rust-free in the typical areas. The original paintwork in the engine compartment and trunk is still in good condition. The hood and trunk lid also look like new.
We repainted the exterior in the original “Tizianmetallic” color, as the older Spanish paint job was of poor quality.

The NSU is equipped with an electric steel sunroof. Air conditioning was also retrofitted in Spain.

The interior is in very good condition overall.
The engine starts well and runs very smoothly. A stainless steel exhaust system was custom-made for the car in Spain.

The NSU has German TÜV certification and an H license plate.

The mileage of just under 65,000 kilometers seems plausible.

The car can be viewed and test driven here in Bad Essen. If you have any questions about the vehicle, please feel free to contact us.
