Nichtzukriegium

(Unobtanium)

Can You Make It?

While plenty of the usual everyday parts are still relatively easy to find, there are always a few critical ones that — thanks to these cars getting properly old — have simply vanished into pure unobtainium territory. Or, as they say in German, straight-up Nichtzukriegium. Sourcing them becomes pure Freude... especially when our Merkur numbers are so gloriously small that nobody bothers keeping stock anymore.

If you, or someone you know in the garage somewhere, can actually reproduce these little unobtainium / Nichtzukriegium treasures, please send them my way. The community would be eternally grateful.
