Many years ago the sight of NSU vehicles on Irish roads was common enough. Most people were familiar with NSU cars and motorcycles and many had their first taste of motorized transport on or in a NSU vehicle. In the 50’s, 60’s and early 70’s 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 50’s and 60’s did so by way of a NSU vehicle. For many people their first car or bike was a NSU.
