Just my opinion. 1950's 1960's .  There was very little on the small car market that could compete with what came from the Four rings [ Auto Union ] and the VW factories. (pic's VW Auto Pavilion )

Remember  The  DKW / Auto Union ? predescessr to the Audi brand ,, the first Audi that came out was remember the Audi 600 which progressed to the Audi 90 , soon became merged with VW passat  etc ,,

The  DKW / Auto union had  3 cylinder 2 stroke engines ,, quite nippy for their time ,,,

who of you remember the little Messerschmitt 3 wheeler cars that were in OMD in the 60's and 70's.
I seem to recall that the last one left was a blue one which was owned by a French guy Derobe ?? who was married to a Hockney?? girl and they lived in top end 3rd or 4th avenue.
Who can fill in the missing gaps here?

My folks owned the blue on, we left in the late 70 and my folks David and Jean Embleton sold it to the French computer tech, I don't remember his name. My folks now live in Kleinbrak near Mosselbay, both still going strong My Dad is now 74 and my mom is 72.

As collectors items ,, intrinsic value ,, the willing collector will pay whatever ,,

I wonder how they got from caravan park to the next park - most probably pushed it - imagine the speed you would get from a 600 cc motorcycle engine in a two seater car + pulling a caravan ?

John Creedy's reference to Mrs Devlin"s car brought back memories of her car and raisin bread being uplifted from the Morris bread delivery trucks whilst the Ovamo's were delivering and the back door was left open.We were caught red handed close to her house ,reported to her by the driver whilst being held firmly lest we should escape ,but absolved by her as she didn't for one moment believe that we were able to get up to such mischief to the total disbelief of the Ovambo driver.Some times you were just lucky.
Mrs Devlin had a beautiful grey Plymouth - 1959/60 model?
