1960 Messerschmitt FMR Tg500 Tiger Cabriolet

1960 FMR Tg500 'Tiger' Convertible Microcar License plate STM 982 Chassis number 21065 Engine number 2829 • Raced by Eduard Ernst • Offered with a very rare Sport top • Retains its original engine • An extremely sought-after and important example The Messerschmitt Kabinenroller microcar, introduced in 1953 as the 'Fend', named after co-designer Fritz Fend, was soon marketed under the manufacturer's name. This change coincided with the switch from the original's 148cc Fichtel & Sachs engine to a 174cc engine. The single-cylinder two-stroke engine, located at the rear, produced a modest 9 hp, yet still enough to propel the light and aerodynamic KR175 to a speed of approximately 88 km/h. The plexiglas canopy, which was so strongly reminiscent of those on Messerschmitt's warplanes, hinged sideways to provide access to the two occupants seated one behind the other, in tandem style. The KR175 was succeeded by the KR200 in 1955.
