Messerschmitt

Messerschmitt
The Messerschmitt KR200, or Kabinenroller (Cabin Scooter), was a three-wheeled bubble car designed by the aircraft engineer Fritz Fend and produced in the factory of the German aircraft manufacturer Messerschmitt from 1955 to 1964. The KR200 ran on a 191 cc (11.7 cu in) Fichtel & Sachs 2 stroke engine.

I spotted this one in Old Portsmouth.

Not this car, but a nice little video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=X82Fq43sutg gives you a better idea of the size of these little motors.

It has a lovely "face" as well.

Man nehme ein kleines Flugzeug, montiere die Flügel und Propeller ab und fertig ist das Auto. Schöner Zweisitzer in Reihe!
