No, I clicked the link to see what the hell this was.

Seriously, I know a guy who road raced one of these thing back in a day. Light, quick, and nimble.

ARRGGHHH!!! So much WANT. My kingdom for a garage!

It's a good thing the engine is in OK shape- NSU only built 2,375 Spiders (according to Wikipedia). Not to mention the NSU rotaries were highly unreliable and many Spiders and Ro80s had them scrapped for boingers, making spare factory engines and parts scarce.
