NSU in Ireland - " In the 1950s, 60s and early 70s NSU vehicles were assembled and sold here by Reg Armstrong Motors. Reg Armstrong was well known as a world-class racing motorcyclist. As an NSU works rider he had many victories. Initially a plant was established in Dublin for the assembly of motorcycles and from this the full range of NSU models from Quickly to the 250cc Max were assembled. In 1958 the assembly of cars commenced at a separate plant in Ringsend Dublin. Assembly started with Prinz 2 & 3, then Prinz 4, Prinz 1000 and Prinz 1000TT and finally the TYP110. The later models, the Ro80 and K70 were not assembled but imported directly into Ireland. NSU vehicles were very popular in Ireland at the time and it follows that many people who started driving in the 50s and 60s did so with an NSU vehicle. For many people their first car or bike was a NSU." - from here. Other info that bike builds included Quickly, Fox, Max, Super Max and scooters, but downgraded after 1960 when Reg Armstrong Motors became Honda concessionaires until finally stopping in 1963. Car assembly continued until 1968 when RAM switched to Opel. At one stage Ireland had 68 NSU dealers. |
