Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

RHD. Built by AFN Limited on a DKW Sonderklasse chassis with 896cc 2 stroke DKW engine. Raced in the 1955 Tourist Trophy, DNF when the crew forgot to add oil to the fuel at a pit stop. Freshly restored with 1 liter DKW engine and later gearbox (originals included) and 12 volt electrics. Good paint and interior, minor pitting on taillight chrome bezels. A good, usable and unique car with the all important period racing history and FIA papers.

Market commentary

This is a good deal. Its age and period racing history make it a prime entrant for a wide variety of events. Its highly unusual and will be appreciated in the pits at summer races where a little DDT in the fuel will help dispel the gnats and mosquitoes. In Pounds its a bargain and its not expensive even in todays thin dollars.
