Description
This is a Rare NSU Prinz Sport. It was designed by a Italian car designer Franco Scaglione from Bertone. We are the third owner. As far as I know it’s original mileage around 56616 and original motor and transmission. Runs great needs brakes. If you’re looking for a fast speedy car this isn’t it. Does highway speeds designed more as a city car. These are few and far between and is a great collector car. Our asking price is a lot less than what I see them sell for. The car is located in Chase BC...

Our Take:
- Unique Design Pedigree: The NSU Prinz Sport was indeed penned by the legendary Italian designer Franco Scaglione, who once crafted bodies for the likes of Alfa Romeo and Aston Martin. His work with Bertone added a touch of Italian flair to this German compact, making it a visual treat that stands out even today.
- Scarcity on Modern Roads: Fewer NSU Prinz Sports have survived the test of time, especially outside Europe. It's not every day you see one cruising down the streets of Canada, which makes this car a rare sight appealing to collectors and enthusiasts alike.
- Simple Yet Sporty Engineering: While it might not win any sprints, the Prinz Sport demonstrates an example of efficient city driving with its air-cooled, rear-mounted engine. It's like finding a perfectly preserved time capsule of 1960s urban motoring—minimalist yet functional.
- A Pioneering Heritage: NSU's legacy is deeply entwined with the evolution of the car industry, noted for their later development of the rotary engine. While the Prinz Sport didn't feature such technology, owning one is like having a chapter of automotive innovation history sitting in your garage.
