"The body, interior, and engine are all in excellent condition. Repainted in the 1980s, the paint finish is still very good."

Description

The car was in Smålnd and western Sweden until 2018, when it was purchased by VW collector Bengt Holmgren, the man behind the VW Museum in Pålsboda. From the 1980s to the 1990s, this car was owned by Rolf Stern's workshop in Västra Frölunda, who renovated the body and had it repainted in the original color. The penultimate owner, who lives in Varberg and is a big RO80 enthusiast, purchased it in 2002. After problems with the old engine, he replaced it with a newer one in 2007. The new engine was renovated, and the car ran flawlessly until it was sold to Plsboda in 2018, and it has continued to work flawlessly since then. Every detail on the car is brand new. Good chrome and moldings, stylish in the engine and luggage compartments, and close to new on the inside. Because the meter has gone around the clock, the reading of 4427 km equals a total of 14427 km. There is documentation available. The vehicle comes with a large number of spare parts (see photos).

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The engine starts and runs fine, but the battery is dead. Because there hasn't been much driving in recent years, a starting service and brake lubrication may be required. Inspection approved in 2016 and now inspection free for life.

  • Interior condition:

    Superb upholstery, carpets, headliner, dashboard, and so on. Everything is original and in excellent condition.

  • Exterior condition:

    All of the bodywork is in excellent condition. Professionally painted throughout, including engine rooms and around doors, and much more.

  • General condition:

    The car is in unusually good condition and has a very nice color combination, as well as details with a high finish, making it one of the better RO 80 cars we've seen.

Facts about the model

Det som gjorde NSU Ro80 unik och spännande, (och före sin tid i design och teknik), var bland annat mycket elegant, modern kaross med stora innerutrymmen och runda former, mycket lågt luftmotstånd, hög komfort och mycket god väghållning. Dessutom unik Wankelmotor som är helt vibrationsfri och som kan varvas utan begränsningar. Detta kopplat till en halvautomatisk växellåda och framhjulsdrift gjorde bilen till en sensation när den presenterades på Frankfurtmässan 1967. Den fick utmärkelsen Årets Bil detta år av en enhällig jury.
NSU hade lagt ner all sin kraft på att utveckla denna bilmodell och på grund av problem med motorns tätningar, mellan rotor och stator så fick man byta de första motorerna på alla bilar som såldes under första året. 1969 gick Audi in och köpte NSU, som då kom att heta Audi-NSU och denna bilmodell inspirerade bland annat till designen i den nya Audi 80 som kom i mitten av 1980-talet. Wankelmotorn, och Ro 80 modellen slutade man med 1978. Men Wankelmotorn har levt vidare i flera Mazda- sport-modeller och sålts i stort antal.
Idag är Ro 80 en eftertraktad samlarbil och detta exemplar är särskilt intressant eftersom den är av första utförandet med originaldesignen oförändrad. Bilen har också den förbättrade motorn,
