1956 Auto Union

[VinceAtReal4x4s]

Saw this at a car show tonight. I had more questions when I saw the familiar German "Oel" but it was on the gas cap. The owner said "Yeah, I have to mix oil with the gas... it's a two stroke".

Water cooled but no water pump, 3 coils, three points, with the radiator behind the engine. Somehow I never ran across one of these before. I guess this is technically an old Audi.
