Further Info:
Interest in 'microcars' has been on the rise for some time, of which many view the tandem seat Messerschmitts as the cream of the crop. This delightful KR200 Cabriolet hails from 1961 and was apparently restored between 2013 and 2014, with the assistance of TR Bitz of Aerodrome Garage, Cheshire. The vendor now views the bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, engine and transmission as all being in 'excellent' order and, to prove the point, 'TJY 356' last year won 'Third In Show' in a 1000-strong concours event at Tatton Park, Cheshire. The Messerschmitt's streamlined aircraft-style body is finished in Red and trimmed in Black vinyl. It is powered by the standard specification 191cc Fichtel & Sachs single-cylinder two-stroke engine which, thanks to the KR200's light weight and effective aerodynamics, is sufficient to propel the little two-seater to c.60mph - a speed it can attain backwards as well as forwards, as the reversible ignition allows the four-speed transmission to operate in both directions!
