michael1703 Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 This is one of them, this is wedgie. I've had this car two years and still done naff all really,it had been off the road since 1986, the engine was thoroughly seized as the boot has a louvered bit which ducts air in, unfortunately many years of rainwater went straight down the carb corroding the carb to buggery and seizing the engine so badly it took coke/diesel/oxy acetylen/plus gas/big hammer with timber drift and then.... I had to fit new liners/rings/ good used pistons/new carburettor etc. It runs but I need to sort the jetting out and repair/replace the exhaust. It then needs brakes and a bit of welding.
fotorabia Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 nice nice nice..i once found the East European version way out in East Berlin on an old empty Russian army base..complete..came back a couple of weeks later and it had been smashed up..
boobydoo Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 They always reminded me of a dumpy bathtub on wheels. The Imp and Simca 1000 were so much more stylish......but looking at it now, I suppose they are kind of cute!!
barrett Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 SOLID GOLD SHITE ALERT These things look great, glad there is one in 'the fold' but come on, you've built yourself up now, what else have you got hiding away in your stable? I'm guessing anyone with a beige Prinz has to have some other kwallz shite up his sleeve
Angrydicky Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 SOLID GOLD SHITE ALERT These things look great, glad there is one in 'the fold' but come on, you've built yourself up now, what else have you got hiding away in your stable? Apart from the Sherpa....
dollywobbler Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 Corking. On my list of 'motors to own' for sure. Love the idea of a twin cylinder engine with overhead camshafts - NSUs even had them in the Fifties!
michael1703 Posted February 8, 2011 Author Posted February 8, 2011 what else have you got hiding away in your stable? A Reliant Simmer Turd, ( dont you know princess anne used to flick herself off in one? )
wuvvum Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 I'd love to own a Prinz. I had an NSU 1000 once, I can imagine that with a shorter wheelbase and 598cc of 2-cylinder POWAH being a right giggle to buzz about in.
Dave7 Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 Fantastic. I like the Scimitar but love the NSU.
Electric Leyland Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 For me that Prinz ticks every possible Autoshite box, a vehicle worthy of a 100/100 score.
trigger Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 Lovely! That NSU is a corker and the GTE's not bad neither. You need to post some photos of your red Jaguar, I remember i photos i posted of it that i took at a show on here provoked a lot of interest.
michael1703 Posted February 8, 2011 Author Posted February 8, 2011 This is my shaguar the day i got it home
trigger Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 That Jag is mega! I'd love to roll about in that!
eddyramrod Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 And I thought the Prinz was star quality? Scim, really pretty, would grace any show (or horse trials, ), but fcuk me, a red Mk10??????? Gordon J. W. Bennett! I'm in love.
BMC Dan Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 The Jag looks totally hideous in generic red with a vinyl roof, love it Awesome Prinz too
eddyramrod Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 I just want it for photoshoots with my Granada GR9 for recreating certain cop shows!
michael1703 Posted February 8, 2011 Author Posted February 8, 2011 I'll try and capture one of my thames vans in a good light tomorrow
michael1703 Posted February 8, 2011 Author Posted February 8, 2011 That Jag is mega! I'd love to roll about in that! erm..... what are you saying/offering trigg
chaseracer Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 Scimitar rear lights: are they 'borrowed', or generic trailer-type units? When I was a kid, some friends of the parents visited in their (at the time, nearly new) Prinz. We went for a picnic on the Malvern Hills and had to get out and walk beside the NSU on the steep bits...
Shep Shepherd Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 I approve of your taste in vehicles, especially the Scimitar
michiel Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 OMGNSU!! Could fit in the Jag's boot - very nice collection.
michael1703 Posted February 27, 2011 Author Posted February 27, 2011 Finally got around to getting a picture of my van. It looks like its a scrapyard find but its still in useIts supposed to be grey, but its got a green tinge to it. yeah, it looks rough cardboard gets it up to temp a bit quicker for short runs i might need a flymo to trim the roof soon mirror rotted off a year or two ago green shite growing in back door rubber a snail has wriggled across it and stained my patina clean bit where i jet washed it last year chick magnet still plenty of rent in the window this is my 58 p4 aka 'the hound' its a good 10ft car but scabby in detail, the grannys love it my mobylette, needs a new rear tyre and a fettle for its next mot
michael1703 Posted February 27, 2011 Author Posted February 27, 2011 you took the words right out of my mouth
eddyramrod Posted February 27, 2011 Posted February 27, 2011 That Thames is period-perfect for about 1972! Lovely!
trigger Posted February 27, 2011 Posted February 27, 2011 Wow!, That Thames is perfect!, I think i'd end up crashing my car just to get a photo of that if i saw it about in the street!, OMG RATLOOK THAMES FTW ETC!
Wight Shite Posted February 27, 2011 Posted February 27, 2011 Ah, another NSU owner on Autoshite. Good to see.Since I sold my last 2 cylinder (Prinz 4) I've always wanted another one. Great little buzzboxes.Love your other shite too, especially the Thames.
