The DKW Club of Great Britain was founded in 1951 to cater for British owners of pre-war twin cylinder DKWs which were then still in active use. The objectives of the club are to help owners with spare parts and technical advice so as to keep as many examples of DKW vehicles as possible in good running order, to encourage the restoration of vehicles to a high standard, and to hold regular meetings where the owners of DKW vehicles can meet each other and to promote the social activities of the club.
The club's magazine was called Two-Stroke and was a wealth of useful information. I recently acquired a huge archive of old Two-Stroke magazines from the 1960s and 70s and rather than let that accumulated knowledge go to waste, I have scanning these here for posterity.
The club still exists and is very active. Their website is here: http://www.dkw.org.uk/
They also have a very active, open Facebook page which has members from all over the world. If you have a DKW or interest, it is well worth joining the page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/dkwclubgb/about/
