NSU Prima D Scooter 1956, 1957

What is your favourite scooter of all time?


NSU Prima D 1956, 1957


The Prima had evolved from NSUs purchase of a licence to manufacture the Lambretta scooter in 1951. When the licence expired NSU continued to produce their own 150cc scooter and called it the NSU Prima. Launched in 1956, the NSU Prima D model appeared similar at first glance to the Lambretta LC, but was in fact a much improved model with many modifications. Along with the 150cc engine, the standard specification included 12-volt electric starting, a low-fuel waring light and a dashboard mounted choke lever that closed automatically. Also standard were sprung rubber saddles, a prop and main stand and a spare wheel. Price new in 1957, £198 6s 9d.
