Audi Type M – Restored into a Cutaway Model
Completely restoring the Audi 18/70 hp Type M to a cutaway model form is such a great challenge. This is the task of Audi Tradition – restoring the 1925 model with the help of experts in vehicle restoration at Fahrzeugrestaurierung Rosenow.
As Spiller said, “The demands placed on everyone working on the project were incredibly high, because the bodymakers, leatherworkers and cartwrights had to keep coordinating their efforts.” The specialist for classic vehicles also stressed that creating a cutaway model from Audi 18/70 hp Type M is really a challenge for their expertise. From the planning and preparation of refurbishment, every detail is accurately examined, making the project complicated and requiring complete concentration.
The whole team of Spillner gives their full commitment within three and a half years of restoring the Audi six-cylinder vehicle. The chassis received repair and vehicle’s floor was finished from high-quality acrylic glass. However, the vehicle’s engine remains since the component is admirably undamaged, allowing the team to simply include a crankcase made from light alloy. Additional features were also integrated like the four-wheel brake and hydraulic shock absorbers. Audi Type M initially features this kind of absorbers.
The presentation of Audi 18/70 hp Type M back in December 1924 was one of the appealing and awaited events at the prestigious Berlin Motor Show. This demonstrated and proved Audi’s conviction of constructing precisely detailed vehicles bearing great quality.
