My dad sent this cell picture from the Ingolstadt Audi museum. It looks pretty cool, but I can't find anything like it on a "classic audi" or "vintage audi" google image search, I figured someone on here has to know.. _________________ '71 inka 'Ingrid'

Looks a lot like an Audi F103.. I don't think thats what it is though.
Heres a picture. Its also kind of similar to the DKW F102 but that was just the predecessor to the F103.

Looks like a NSU TT with some different headlights....

Yeah, after looking at a bunch of images, I think you are right. I read that the Audi TT took its name after this, maybe thats how it ended up in an Audi museum ?
Having never heard of NSU, I was surprised to see a ton of sweet racing shots online. I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to most European vintage autos, so I appreciate the responses. _________________ '71 inka 'Ingrid'

This Wikipedia entry will help you sort out the family ties between NSU and Audi :

I would have guessed NSU also.
I've been lucky enough to get exposure to all kinds of obscure / vintage / landmark / historic European cars over the last 5 or 6 years through vintage race crew work.
check out these amazing little cars:
Alpine-Renault also called Renault Alpine - a tiny bad ass car!
ANYTHING Abarth
Lotus Cortina
Lotus Elan (67 -69 era)
Daimler SP250 "Dart"
Mini Moke..funny...it's a car that rhymes with "joke"! I've driven one at speed - they're hilarious!
Elva Mk VII (some BMW powered)
Ginetta G16 (some BMW powered)...sexiest sports racer of all time.The name Ginetta is around still making "modern" cars - but the 1960s era G16 is my all time favorite.
Google to your hearts content! Bring a bowl to drool in.

Man, thanks for the suggestions, but no thanks for putting off my college studies for an hour and a half. Its cool to look up these cars and find that some of them have a group of fanatics similar to the 02 crowd.
Thanks again for sharing- and the Mini Moke is definitely one of the most absurd cars I've ever seen, that would be awesome to get around town in. _________________ '71 inka 'Ingrid'

If you liked the Mini Moke, try the Citroen Mehari and the Fiat Jolly.
When I was a kid I was lucky enough to have an older female cousin who loved European cars. Among the cars she owned at one time or another were a Triumph Herald convertible, a German Ford Consul (with a V4 engine IIRC), a Renault Caravelle and a Peugeot 404. Then she got married to a guy who owned a Ford dealer and has been driving boring cars ever since... _________________ HarryPR
