No - it's a 1963+ Simca 1000 coupe. |

intuitive recognized Bertone design, by rear styling must have been quite rare here! -- Last edit: 2012-07-07 01:01:22 |

They're not too far apart in some ways - Fiat owned 20% of Simca till early 60s, Fiat 850 and Simca 1000 are very similar design packages, Bertone did the coupes for each. |

They were indeed. And the few ones were eaten by the rust very quickly. Or were smashed by overchallenged drivers. As a fellow as told me, who owns one, they have a more insidious driveability than the NSU's (of which the guy has some more, too). |

Only 10,011 made 63-67 before replaqced by 1200S coupe (67-71, 14,471 made). Bodies assembled in I by Bertone, then shipped to France for oily bits and completion - does this qualify for Model Origin F, Made in I?? If so, would apply for 1200S as well. -- Last edit: 2012-07-07 13:13:42 |

found the Bertone styled NSU in red /vehicle_514250-Krupp.html same color as in Jean-Luc Godard´s "Week end" |

Of course. Why should we treat it different than the Opel Astra Cabriolets here? They are listed as origin D, made in I. -- Last edit: 2012-07-07 17:33:02 |

"Alfarot II" code [NSU213], I would say. The other red tones are too dark an "iberischrot" and "marsrot" were much newer VW-colours, not used before the merging ("hostile takeover with following plundering and dumping" would a more appropriate term ![]() |
