1955 Messerschmitt KR200 3-wheel bubble car


KR stood for Kabinenroller (cabin roller). The 200 came from the 191 cc Fichtel & Sachs two-stroke single cylinder engine, which was operable in both directions of crankshaft rotation. About 40,000 of these were made between 1955 and 1964.

That's Messerschmitt! You know, the fine folks who brought the world the Me-109? How the mighty Dr. Willy had fallen by the mid-fifties!
