Hard to believe this was the forerunner of Audi today. Compare that with Audis now. No MMI back then, nor Virtual Cockpit, nor Presense, nor Tiptronic transmission. Yet this car definitely has a charm of its own and the two-stroke engine has a nice sound to it.
Really nice little car, and solid! Its construction allows for some areas of severe rust potential, and its still very solid and nice! Would be really fun to drive!
I bought a DKW junior 800cc engine from a breaker, tuned it and fitted it to a FRISKY family three, It did 125 mph, calculated power to weight was 130 hp as the car only weighed 8 cwt. I used an Albion sequential gearbox.
DKW ALWAYS was just DKW.... means "Steam Powered Vehicles...". Dkw-Engineers designed the VW-Golf (front driven and DKW-Sporty....) and the first AGAIN "AUDI" was just a SUPERP EXISTING FULL-DESIGNED-AND-BUILD-DKW-Car with a Mercedes Engine put inside.... later sold to Volkswagen.....
They started in Germany over 150 years ago as DKW means "Steam Povwred Vehicles...." than they changed over 100 years ago to two-stroke cars... best two-stroke cars ever made.... front wheel-drive, brakes not in the wheels but near the engine.....ALL OF THEM just racing cars.... in the 50ties in South America at Tran-sameriana Race (Ocean to Ocean) a 2-stroke DKW-Car designed in the 30ies blew off a Porsche.... After the war DKW-Engineers saved Volkswagen from bancrupcy... (DKW-Engineers designed the Golf) and the first AUDI was a BEAUTIFUL DKW-Car with put in a 4-Stroke Engine from Mercedes....
Echt coole auto, ziet er perfect uit! Toen ik klein was had onze buurman er zo een. Maar helemaal wit. Moet zo ergens rond 1965/66 geweest zijn. Maar ik kan het me nog precies herinneren, vooral het geluid van de tweetaktmotor.
I ador, I owned 2 DKW : a 57's 3=6 and a 65's F12. Fabulous cars but the one I prefered was the 3=6, regarding to its engine's performances Sorry for you but the video's car it isn't a F12. The F12 has quite different rear lights, including reversing ones, right and left. ... and the F12''s roof is more angled, barely without the slightest curve. Best regards. Paul
@@gravelydon7072 NO !!! Every model had its name (written front and or back), each of them with its own body's characteristics - Very first Junior 2 cylinders of 660 cc - Junior 741 cc and 34 cv - Junior de Luxe 796 cc and 34 cv Then ... - F12 889 cc and 40 cv - F12 Roadster 889 cc and 45 cv - F11 who was a F12 "limited" in 796 cc and 34 cv - And finally the F12 with the Roadster's engine power of 45 cv But, as we can read in this video's title, a Junior, de Luxe and F12 has never existed, these are 3 different models.

just to ad some details for the uninitiated.. the cooling system does not have a water pump that's why the radiator is so large as it works on the thermo syphon principal. There is no complicated distributor only points for the three coils and the engine only has seven moving parts. Three cylinders with two stroke firing makes it as smooth as a conventional six.These cars also have a chassis with transverse leaf springs plus the early use of rack and pinion steering.
Hood coming up is mean stuff ... my father had an F12 - no trouble there .. and later an Audi Super 90 F 103 .. which was fast like hell and needed hoodstraps for that problem .. to think doing solid 160kmh for hours fully loaded in spanish summer . on retreaded tires 😓 ... and b.t.w. the steering wheel was shaped to comply with the 'Wirtschaftswunder' upsizing ;)
Little DKW-baby with 34 hp... Straight road... US-Barges from the 40ies to 60ies with 100 hp more may be faster.....but hill-climbing, narrow roads, corners UUPS.... ABSOLUTELY NO CHANCE for the Barges... the little DKW-Baby beats them all with ease ....
1965 godine imao sam DKW JUNIOR koristio sam mešavinu benzina i ulja u procentu 5%Automobil je ubrzo zaribao i stao .Zapekli su lageri nba radilici. MORAO SAM ZAMENITI RADILICU MOTORA SA LAGERIMA I KLIPNJAČAMA .- Što malo nije koštalo. DKW 1000S JE POSEDOVAO PUMPU za ulje pa je mešao benzin sa uljem u potrebnom i tačnom procentu i on je bio daleko bolji. Danas bi takodje voleo da imam ovaj automobil. Zoran
Cool little car. Great shape for it's age. Looks like a miniature 1955 or 56 Ford. For God's sake man! Be careful with that beautiful example. A fine example of what you can sign up for a 7 year wait of your fine car available for order in the eastern workers paradise. There was a Zodiak or some such English car that resembled the style of a 1956 Ford. Anglia, Zodiak, Prefect.
Gregory Timmons DKW was made in (then) West Germany. I Think you are confusing it with Wartburg, IFA and Trabant. IFA was split from DKW before the war. Consul and Zodiac were British Ford models.
Lovely little car. I had one in 1969 , slow, but fun and comfortable. Same color as this one.
Danish winters weren’t kind to it. Pure nostalgia.😋

we drove in the 60s every year to the the baltic sea with this cool car.......and we were faster than our neighbours with their Ford 12m P4 ;)))))))
DKW is not Audi,Dkw was a part of 4 car brands of Horch,Audi,Wanderer and DKW,that is why the rings into each other.
Genau! :)

F12 model changed over time.

NO !!!
Every model had its name (written front and or back), each of them with its own body's characteristics
- Very first Junior 2 cylinders of 660 cc
- Junior 741 cc and 34 cv
- Junior de Luxe 796 cc and 34 cv
Then ...
- F12 889 cc and 40 cv
- F12 Roadster 889 cc and 45 cv
- F11 who was a F12 "limited" in 796 cc and 34 cv
- And finally the F12 with the Roadster's engine power of 45 cv

Cute! nice ride-scratches are proof that you drive it
Si es el DKW Junior Deluxe, debe haber tenido el sistema Lubrimat, con depósito independiente de aceite.
just to ad some details for the uninitiated.. the cooling system does not have a water pump that's why the radiator is so large as it works on the thermo syphon principal. There is no complicated distributor only points for the three coils and the engine only has seven moving parts. Three cylinders with two stroke firing makes it as smooth as a conventional six.These cars also have a chassis with transverse leaf springs plus the early use of rack and pinion steering.
And to change the tire, you stick a jack in the side of the car.
In all my life, I’ve not actually seen one here in the U.S. ( Of any DKW).
Cute, interesting car.
Yours is a nice Daily Driver.

We owned a 4 door DKW. A friend had a Jr. I still have the Jr 's engine and drivetrain.

I drive it in Germany 1967 on Autobahn 130 km/h.ca.85miles/h .🤗🤗🤗
Lovely little car - great video - thanks!
Que diseño tan bonito !
Mensch! Echt toll!
Did you rebearing the engine on the car if so how and who did it for you
I WISHD ID HAD CAR LIKE THAT
built for very cold conditions will be good in alaska or canada or north america

dkw Júnior Belo carro
1965 godine imao sam DKW JUNIOR koristio sam mešavinu benzina i ulja u procentu 5%Automobil je ubrzo zaribao i stao .Zapekli su lageri nba radilici. MORAO SAM ZAMENITI RADILICU MOTORA SA LAGERIMA I KLIPNJAČAMA .- Što malo nije koštalo. DKW 1000S JE POSEDOVAO PUMPU za ulje pa je mešao benzin sa uljem u potrebnom i tačnom procentu i on je bio daleko bolji. Danas bi takodje voleo da imam ovaj automobil. Zoran
Kako je 2t motor mogao zaribati sa 5% mjesavine?
This is a Junior de luxe but not a F 12. Than later the yellow and the red are F 12.
❤❤❤❤
very rare very rare nice little car but better drive in free wheel
what a beautiful car my man
Haesslich wie die Nacht
what a wonderful sky-blue beauty !
This was such a cool little rig!
@@blueovalranch that sound reminds me of my dad who had that model in 1970 it brings back memories 😢
9:20 🤣🤣🤣👍
Looks like the opel
Just take a seat in a Pre-War-Design Family-DKW-Two-Stroke Car fighting against racing-cars from the 60ies and later... just enjoy.....

6 volts Battery ?????
Yep. Only later did they change to a 12 Volt system.
Nice car, shame your parting/parted with it.
Neat :)
All your doing is pointing out it’s imperfections, instead of telling us about the car itself. I really don’t care about the scratches in the paint
ORIGINAL DKW-Baby from the 50ies (600cc, 34 hp) racing... the "Beetles" are from the 80ies and the "engines" are NOT original....
ua-cam.com/video/J3R_Q_oweV8/v-deo.html
NOPE Jaguar has the brakes like DKW... because DKW is just the older company building cars.....

Consul and Zodiac were British Ford models.
Yeah, deffo on the lines more of the British Ford Anglia 105E but with the rear windows more quarter-circular.

💥👊😊
someone to compare a "Jaguar" with that DKW-company? ua-cam.com/video/TEE5i1CIdec/v-deo.html ... MUCH OLDER THAN JAGUAR.....
eins der haesslichsten Autos , die je gebaut wurden. DKW hatte bei der Verteilung der Haesslichkeit, zweimal die Hand gehoben...
When Audi made Trabants! Lol
A Traby was a DKW missing a cylinder.
