FactNSU stretched the Prinz 1000's wheelbase and dropped the Prinz name entirely to sell the Typ 110 as a proper lower-middle-class saloon.
The NSU Typ 110 is a small car made by NSU between 1965 and 1972 (branded the NSU 1200 after 1967), first presented at the 1965 Frankfurt Motor Show and based on the Prinz 1000 but with a longer wheelbase and front overhang, adding passenger and luggage space; with an external length of four metres it took NSU into the lower middle-class saloon sector, and NSU dropped the Prinz name for it. Large rectangular headlights differentiated it from the smaller models, the dashboard had a strip speedometer reminiscent of the Opel Rekord B and 'simulated wood' veneer, and reclining front seats were extra. Like the Prinz 1000 it had a rear-mounted, transversely mounted air-cooled four-cylinder with a chain-driven single overhead camshaft. Initially it had a 1085 cc engine with a claimed 49 PS (36 kW); as the NSU 1200 (from 1967) it had a 1177 cc engine with a claimed output of 40 kW (54 PS; 54 hp). Wheelbase 2,440 mm (96 in), length 4,000 mm (160 in), width 1,490 mm (59 in), height 1,390 mm (55 in), with a 4-speed all-synchromesh manual.

Owning one
We don’t estimate running costs for a car like this. What it costs depends on its condition, its specialist and how it is driven, and an average would mislead.

Simca beat Fiat to market by three months with what was essentially Fiat's own Topolino design.
The Simca 1000 began at Fiat: Simca boss Henri Pigozzi picked one of six boxy clay models from Fiat's "Project 122".
The last Simca 1000 ever built, the 1978 Rallye 3, was also the rarest — just 1,000 were made in the model's final year, a quiet send-off for a car that had sold nearly two million.
To drum up buzz at launch, Simca briefly swapped 50 of its Paris taxi fleet's Ariane sedans for tiny new 1000s, making the little car a familiar sight on the capital's streets.
The PL 17's name is a sum: 5 fiscal horsepower, 6 seats, 6 litres per 100 km, kept a digit below the Citroën DS 19's.
The humble Tagora spawned a one-off concept, the Présidence, decked out with Connolly leather and electronics way ahead of 1981 — a built-in telephone, dictaphone, text-message receiver and a TV with VCR.
Talbot fed the Tagora's V6 old-fashioned triple carburettors instead of fuel injection — and the extra power briefly made it the most powerful French car on sale. Only 1,083 were ever built.
Switching the 96 from a two-stroke to a Ford V4 was such a closely guarded secret that Saab invented a fake company, Maskinverktyg AB, just to buy the new engine's parts without its own purchasing department finding out.
