DKW AU 1000 SP Coupe — 1961

A well-restored and rare classic—this DKW 1000 SP has had only three owners and underwent a comprehensive restoration approximately 25 years ago. It has seen very limited mileage since then and has been carefully stored throughout this period.

"An incredibly sporty and beautiful car overall. Faithfully restored to original specifications. Fully functional and immediately ready for the road."

Description

A delightful DKW model originally sold new to a paint dealer in what was then M County. Upon the owner’s move to another county, the car received the registration number L 17475. Based on our research, the car got its second owner in 1978, and the current owner acquired it in 1998. At that time, the car had already undergone a full restoration, and only minor maintenance has been required since.

The car has been very well preserved since the restoration, and all functions are in proper working order. During the restoration, a rear seat was custom-made, as the original was missing. However, the car remains officially registered as a two-seater. It was given a permanent inspection exemption in August 2016. At that time, the odometer showed 162,480 km, meaning the car has been driven less than 3,000 km over the past nine years.

According to available information, only 18 examples of this model remain registered in Sweden.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The small two-stroke engine starts up very easily, and the car feels lively despite its modest horsepower. According to the owner, this SP model was equipped with a different cylinder head, increasing the power output by 5 horsepower. All functions are in proper working order. Comes with two sets of keys, as well as the original jack and spare wheel.

  • Interior condition:

    Beautiful interior overall, with nothing to remark on. Shows only minimal signs of use. The rear seat was added, as previously mentioned.

  • Exterior condition:

    Overall in original condition. Bumpers are in good usable shape, and the lights and lenses are in excellent condition. Trim, wheels, and tires are all well-preserved. A new windshield has been recently installed. The stainless steel exhaust system has been custom-made and fitted to match the original specification.

  • General condition:

    This charming car is in fantastic condition, both inside and out. It feels lively and enjoyable to drive, and it draws plenty of attention on the road.

Facts about the model

DKW, part of Auto Union, began developing the 1000 SP Coupé in the late 1950s. The car was intended to be a sporty coupé that combined style with performance. It was built on the DKW 1000 platform but featured a more aerodynamic design and a more powerful engine.

  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends.
