Page "DKW" Paragraph 14

A more successful range of passenger cars was sold from 1959.

This was the Junior / F12 series based on a modern concept from the late 1950s.

This range consist of Junior ( basic model ) made from 1959 to 1961, Junior de Luxe ( a little enhanced ) from 1961 to 1963, F11 ( a little larger ) and F12 ( larger and bigger engine ) from 1963 to 1965 and F12 Roadster from 1964 to1965.

The Junior / F12 series became quite popular, and many cars were produced.

An assembly plant was licenced in Ireland between 1952 and c. 1964 and roughly 4, 000 DKW vehicles were assembled ranging from saloons, vans, motorbikes to commercial combine harvesters.

This was the only DKW factory outside of Germany in Europe.
