'Little & Large'. 

As I've said before, I just love the quirkiness of the little NSU and this has to be the nicest iteration to my mind. 'Born in the USA', this one arrived on British shores without customs or handling charges. A gamble that paid off, making it cheaper than some of the more usual versions available in the UK! (It seemed to have gone through some sort of intermediary process, as postage was way lower than any other U.S. seller and it arrived in UK labelled shipping materials. In fact, before unwrapping it, I wondered what an earth it was as I didn't have any outstanding UK purchases. Odd.)

The MAN truck completes a quartet and is the most colourful of the bunch. Factory described as a 'Special edition', it came 'Used' from a UK dealer but is in exceptional condition and again was a good buy. Similar trucks at the time were only available new from Spain and were selling for a good third to two fifths more, with exorbitant postage on top! Obviously from a collection, it came complete with its pristine sleeve and crystal case.

Both are just gorgeous.
