The seller offers for sale this 1970 NSU Prinz 4 L, powered by a 0.6-litre air-cooled two-cylinder petrol engine, paired with a manual transmission. Finished in turquoise green, this Prinz is presented as a largely original car that has come from a private collection. The paintwork is described as mostly original, retaining much of its factory finish, with only a small area having been touched up.

The chassis is original and has been touched up in places over the years.
The Prinz 4 was produced by NSU from the early 1960s and became the company’s best-known small car. Its compact, rounded body, with a strong resemblance to the larger American Chevrolet Corvair, gave it a distinctive look that still stands out today. Power came from an air-cooled two-cylinder engine mounted in the rear, a layout that kept the car light and economical and gave it a lively character on the road. NSU later became part of the group that formed modern Audi, which adds to the historical interest of these cars.
As one of the more characterful German small cars of its era, a well-preserved and largely original Prinz 4 L like this holds genuine appeal for collectors and enthusiasts of post-war microcars. Its compact dimensions, simple engineering and unmistakable styling make it an enjoyable and practical classic to own, show and use.
