1958 Messerschmitt KR200

The distinctive 1958 Messerschmitt KR200, manufactured in West Germany during the auto industry's post-war revival, is a unique three-wheeled microcar that exudes vintage charm while maintaining practicality. This specific example, adorned in a vibrant red hue and featuring red vinyl upholstery throughout its seating area, boasts a striking side-hinged canopy supported by a black folding soft top for increased protection and stylish aesthetics. The KR200 showcases its authenticity with a front-mounted towel rack bumper and distinctive turn signals positioned along the sides of the vehicle, complementing the steering yoke design intended to evoke memories of piloting aviation craft, given Messerschmitt's aeronautical heritage. Despite its compact dimensions suited for urban areas, this antique microcar is not shy about putting on a display with its eight steel wheel rims. Hailing from Piqua, Ohio, in the United States, it was listed for sale with notable features including a 191 cc two-stroke single motor mated to a four-speed manual transmission, further emphasizing the KR200's historic significance as an icon of the microcar era.
