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.
