- Desirable cabriolet version
- Beautiful restoration

Launched in spring 1955, the KR200 version of the famous Messerschmitt superseded the KR175. It benefited from an increase in cubic capacity and a slight growth in performance. Available as a standard version with a plexiglas bubble or as a roadster, it is still the convertible version that would remain the most luxurious one, enjoying a more posh interior and additional chrome.
This specific example is part of this desirable category. Sold new in Switzerland, it was exported to Belgium in 2014 before being purchased by its current owner. All servicing invoices since 2014 and some other older ones are included in the documentation, as well as two sales brochures in Dutch and the "Messerschmitt Gold Portfolio" book. The complete restoration that has been carried out particularly highlights its originality. It's from this cockpit (ever so close to the one of an airplane) that we have been able to test-drive it with satisfaction. Followed by the bluish scrolls typical of its 2-stroke engine, it captivates with surprise and affinity. Having obviously not been used much since its refurbishment, this KR200 will delight its future owner. To consume without moderation

Auction estimate: €30 000 / 40 000

In the Microcar world, the successful FMR Messerschmitt is up there amongst the best. It?s quirky aviation inspired charm was also a practical proposition for many in the 1950?s and ?60?s due to it?s tricycle taxation class, great fuel economy, and low centre of gravity handling. Amazingly, the ?Electramatic? system enables ...
