One of the first vehicles to be built after the Second World War by Auto Union, nowadays known as Audi, has been restored by the prestige German car manufacturer.
A 1951 DKW Meisterklasse Universal type F 89 S, restored to working order on behalf of Audi Tradition by the Classic Garage in Radebeul, is a valuable addition to Audi's collection of historic vehicles at its award-winning Museum Mobile in Ingolstadt as it represents the resumption of passenger-car production displaying the Four Rings emblem after the Second World War.
The practical, multi-purpose DKW estate car featured a visible wooden structure and became particularly popular with farmers, tradesmen and small businesses because of its large load area. Of the 4,285 built, only a handful of the cars survive today.
More than 250,000 people have visited Audi's Museum Mobile at the Audi Forum in Ingolstadt since it opened last December making it one of the most visited museums in Germany in its very first year.
