1974 NSU Ro80 review from UK and Ireland

"One of the finest cars ever built"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Rebuilt the rotary engine myself.

Very reliable if treated properly (loves synthetic oil).

General comments?

Vastly underated - years ahead of their time.

Good performance - quicker than many modern cars.
