I've shown photographs previously of the pre-war C-Type & D-Type Auto Unions and other vehicles that Audi took to the VSCC's Richard Seaman Memorial Trophies meeting at Donington Park in May 2001, and here's another car that was shown and demonstrated that day.
It's an NSU Spider, produced by NSU between 1964 and 1967, and the first production car to be powered by a rotary engine, first conceived by Felix Wankel. Wankel has now become the generic term for the rotary car engine. The Spider's engine had a capacity of 498cc, produced 54bhp and could reach almost 100mph. The photograph here was taken on the inside of Coppice Corner.
