The Prinz 1000 TT from NSU was recommended to anyone who had not yet felt or lost the joy of driving, because you simply had to be enthusiastic about this car. In addition to good driving characteristics, it even offered limited comfort and amenities and was also cheap.

There are people who buy a huge car on the used car market and then put a smaller engine of the same make under the hood. Appearing to be more than they are is something we learn at school that is not worth striving for. For car lovers of this kind, the NSU Prinz 1000 TT is exactly the wrong car. On the other hand, some people also enjoy spending a lot of money and even more patience to give an inconspicuous car the performance and roadholding they never imagined. I prefer this group. This car should go straight to the heart of these car fans. Prinz 1000 is plainly marked on the front panel and only a few external signs make the connoisseur realize that this is a special kind of Prinz. At least on country roads, even the drivers of fat trucks will have trouble recognizing the "TT" at the rear when this little speedster shoots past them. This model is recommended for anyone who has not yet felt or lost the joy of driving. Apart from a few minor details, it can only garner approval. And it's cheap too.
