1959 Messerschmitt KR200 for sale
Current customer rating: (193 votes ) based onThe Messerschmitt KR200 is a three-wheeled bubble car designed
by the aircraft engineer. Fritz Fend and produced in the factory of
the German manufacturer from 1955 to 1964. Messerschmitt. br/>temporarily not allowed to manufacture aircrafts. had turned its
resources to producing other commodities and. in 1952. Fend
approached Messerschmitt with the idea of manufacturing small motor
vehicles. The first of Fend's vehicles to enter production was the
KR175. the title 'Kabinenroller' means 'scooter with cabin'. The
narrow body and corresponding low frontal area was achieved with
tandem seating which also allowed the body to taper like an
aircraft fuselage; the fuel consumption of the car was reported to
be 87mpg with a top speed of 65mph - if you were brave enough.
Production of the KR200 was heavily reduced in 1962 and ceased in
1964 following consistent drops in sales for a number of years. The
KR200 ran on a 191cc Fichtel & Sachs air-cooled. single
cylinder. two-stroke engine positioned in front of the rear wheel.
The engine had two sets of contact points and. to reverse. the
engine was stopped. then restarted. going backwards.
Originally registered on 21st April 1959. this KR200
presents in excellent condition and. whilst we did not test drive
the vehicle. we are advised she starts and runs well. Clearly. this
Messerschmitt has been loved and cherished and. as such. is one of
the best KR200s we have seen for some time. The cream paintwork is
virtually unmarked. as is the black interior. These quirky vehicles
have a strong following and one in such good condition as this will
certainly create interest. Supplied with a V5 registration
document.
