DKW F91 3=6 Coupe completely restored, rare and original Diamantblau 1959
General description :
This is a perfect 2019 restoration DKW in the original metallic diamond blue that was only available for a short period of time. This car is a so-called SKD kit. The drive train was made in Düsseldorf and exported to the Netherlands on the 26th November 1958. Importer, Nibbrig & Greeve in Sassenheim, further assembled the car, attracting a significant tax advantage. The car was then registered for the first time in Belgium. In 2019 a professional DKW specialist undertook a very thorough restoration, using where necessary original DKW parts. The bodywork and chassis where separated during the process. The 893cc engine was completely rebuilt with new crankshaft, new pistons and new needle bearings. The petrol tank has also been taken apart, cleaned and treated on the in and outside with a protective coating. The interior trim has also been completely replaced. The tyres are new. Of particular interest are the F93’s metal dashboard and the pristine original rubber mats as well as the boots’ distinctive decorative strips. The car document confirms the fact that the bodywork and chassis do match. Since the restoration only the car was carefully driven for 2000km, allowing for fine-tuning where necessary. This DKW is fully ready to go. The coupe’s driving properties are fantastic and good for many years of carefree motoring. Porsche wind tunnels were used in the design, creating a lovely sculpted line. This restored DKW is in such good condition; it could have left the factory yesterday.

About DKW
Ladies and gentlemen, gather 'round for a story that's as American as apple pie but set in the heart of Germany. We're diving into the history of DKW, the German car and motorbike manufacturer that was like a hidden gem in the automotive world.Now, let's set the stage. It's the mid-20th century, and the automotive landscape is dominated by names like Ford and Chevrolet. But here's where DKW comes in, ready to take on the competition like an underdog with a heart of gold.
DKW was known for their innovative spirit, and when they introduced the DKW F1, they turned the automotive world on its head. While everyone else was peddling rear-wheel-drive cars, DKW said, "Why not put the engine up front, where it belongs?" It was like they threw a curveball right at the big American car manufacturers.
The DKW F1 was nimble, efficient, and affordable, a David amongst the Goliaths. It handled like a breeze, making the VW Beetle, a tough competitor, look like a lumbering giant in comparison. It was as if DKW brought a slingshot to the battle, and boy, did it work.
But here's the real star of the DKW show - the Schnellaster. This commercial van was ahead of its time, with front-wheel drive that made it a game-changer. While the VW Beetle was making waves as a people's car, the Schnellaster was the unsung hero, the guiding star for every front-wheel-drive commercial van we see on the road today.
The Schnellaster was the workhorse that could haul a load with the grace of an American cowboy. Its two-stroke engine had the heart of a true Texan - reliable, strong, and a touch of rugged charm. It could carry goods with the same ease as an American pickup truck, and that's saying something.
So, when you see a modern FWD commercial van effortlessly weaving through the city streets, remember the unsung hero, the Schnellaster, the van that set the stage for all the others. DKW may not have had the fame of some other automakers, but they sure left their mark on the world of automobiles.
In a land of automotive giants, DKW was the plucky underdog that showed the world a thing or two about innovation and practicality. And that, my friends, is a tale worthy of a big American smile and a nod of respect.
