This blog is intended to list all of the official literature concerning the NSU Quickly that was published in English. This will consist of manufacturers advertising and promotion brochures and fliers as well as those documents supplied to buyers with their newly purchased Quickly, or intended only for official dealers. I am also aware that some dealers used this information to publish their own advertising leaflets or booklets. I will include this material but there is obviously rather more of that and so that part of the catalogue isn't intended to be exhaustive. Finally, NSU published a lot of material related to the company rather than one particular model of product. Much of this may never have been translated into English, but where I've found such information I've included it. Its not been my general practice to collect material published in magazine articles/advertisements, issued to markets overseas or published in German. However, some of this stuff may have snuck in here and there...
As with all my other blogs, if you have information relevant here, or additional publications so far unlisted, please PM me, preferably with a jpeg of your document, and I'll be very happy to include it here. I am particularly indebted to Donall Keane whose collection of this stuff is rather more extensive than my own.
