1938 DKW F8 Sport Roadster Special
Seller's description
This is the only known DKW F8 with sports body in existence. The car was built on basis of a chassis from the DKW-F8 in 1939. In 1975 it was taken out of service and stood in a garden near Bernau up into the 90s. It was rebuild between 2008 and 2011 using a frame of similar make from IFA production. Engine, gearbox and chassis came from the F8, with 690 cc, water-cooled, ca. 20 hp and cable brakes. Owed to the streamline form and the relatively light construction, the car is a pretty quick version of the F8. In 2011 the vehicle was registered and has been used in vintage car events since.
