This is an example of a beautifully restored 1958 Messerschmitt KR200. Having gone through a complete nut and bolt restoration several years ago, the cars starts, runs and drives flawlessly. the original, rebuilt Fichtel & Sachs 2-stroke, single cylinder, 191cc engine, the car is capable of producing 9.7 horsepower with a 0-50 mph in forty seconds. Most important, however, is the 80 mpg. The car spent several years in the St. Louis Car Museum before being acquired by its current owner. Guaranteed to turn heads at any car show, this machine is a true crowd pleaser.
