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 originally arrived in the UK via rail through Germany and Belgium. It became well known in club circles during its early days, but was then off the road for 40 years until recently treated to a comprehensive restoration using only original and club-supplied parts, during which the engine and transmission were overhauled by a club specialist. The vendor informs us that the Messerschmitt is now 'very presentable and drives really well', and is offering it complete with a copy of the original sales invoice and club certificate of origin. K200s are powered by a 191cc Fichtel & Sachs single-cylinder two stroke engine which, thanks to the model's low weight and effective aerodynamics, will propel the little two-seater to c.60mph - which it can attain both forwards and backwards!
