If my memory don't trick me, the NSU Prinz had only 600cc and never a
automatic transmissio. Later they buils the Prinz 1000 (cc) and the Prinz
1200 (cc). At least the 1200 came with automatic as an option. The automatic
you mention was build in Holland into a automobile produce by the DAF (Dutch
Automobil Factury). This car could run forward and reverse with the same
speed. DAF was later overtaken  by VOLVO.

Merry Christmas to all of you.
