The first NSU motorcycle appeared in 1901 followed by the first NSU car in 1905. WWII left NSU’s factories completely destroyed, but they resumed production of their pre-war models in 1946 and introduced the Max in 1953. By 1955 NSU had become the largest motorcycle producer in the world and was said to have inspired Soichiro Honda in his early designs.
The 1955 NSU Super Lux on offer has been fully restored by the previous owner to a very good standard. It is believed that the machine had seen very little work before the restoration was started. It was sorted for many years, unused until the restoration began. The current owner purchased the NSU from his friend and completed a few minor jobs on the machine. Since his ownership, the machine has been enjoyed at many events and club meets. This is possibly an NSU that was built under license at the famous Vincent, Stevenage, factory in the mid-1950s. A file with a current V5C and original NSU Super Lux instruction book comes with the machine.
