NSU built a about 7000 of the licensed version of the Topolino in Germany. The most expensive variant was this Weinsberg roadster model. Fewer than 500 were built
Four exaust pipes. Must have been easier to run 4 instead of building a collector and then one pipe. Not like it has any distance to the back of the car.
Not to sound anal....which I am, but why would you have a show piece restoration and not have the lettering on the spare tire hub cap symmetrical? That just jumps out at me
such as having the letting horizontal? And the valve stem at top, or bottom, perfectly? Good question. Personally if I were out to try and win awards, I'd clock the lettering on the tire, the hubcap, and the holes in the rim for symmetry. That might mean remounting the tire to the rim, rewelding the studs on the truck that hold the spare tire... and if something needs to happen tot he clinchers on the hubcap, do that too. That's at the extreme end of appearance fixation

Yes, horizontal. Didn't think about it, but I'm definitely onboard with the valve stem!
