Description from the seller

Very rare and completely restored Auto Union 1000 Super de Luxe from 1963. This concerns an original, Netherlands-delivered example, a particularly exceptional specimen that is seldom seen. The Auto Union 1000 Super is regarded as the true pioneer of the later Audi models and thus holds an important place in German automotive history.

This car has always been in the hands of a true enthusiast/collector and has been carefully maintained and restored. The mileage is only 68,000 km and is verifiable via the National Auto Pass (NAP), which confirms a plausible mileage.

Technical

The technology has been fully rebuilt. The characteristic 981 cc three-cylinder two-stroke engine with 50 hp has been completely rebuilt, starts immediately and drives excellently.

In addition, the following work has been carried out, among others:

* Engine fully rebuilt.
* Braking system renewed.
* Clutch mechanism of the manual four-speed transmission renewed.
* Clutch renewed.
* Four new whitewall tires mounted.

The car is in excellent technical condition and is ready to go.

Interior

The interior has been fully restored with respect for the original version. The upholstery has been renewed in the original color scheme and is in splendid condition.

Additionally renewed:

* Roof lining.
* Floor covering.
* Dashboard, with preservation of the original instruments and the original wood inlay.
* The original speedometer has also been rebuilt.

The interior radiates the luxury that was characteristic of the Super de Luxe edition.

Exterior

The bodywork has been fully restored and professionally repainted in the original color scheme. The paint has a beautiful gloss and the gaps are neat. In combination with the new whitewall tires, this Auto Union presents itself as a particularly handsome specimen.

Chassis and documents

The chassis has also been fully restored. It has been sandblasted completely and repainted and is in excellent condition.

The car is supplied with:

* Dutch license plate.
* Comprehensive documentation.
* Recent appraisal report.
* Various instruction books and original literature.
* Folders with historical documentation.
* Original manual.

If sold outside the Netherlands we can arrange export documents free of charge.

An Auto Union 1000 Super de Luxe in this condition very rarely comes onto the market. The combination of an original Dutch delivery, demonstrably low mileage, high-quality restoration, and extensive documentation makes this a particularly attractive collector’s item.

An excellent specimen for the enthusiast, collector, or investor. A chance to add an iconic classic and pioneer of Audi to your collection.

Disclaimer

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
