1959 Messerschmitt KR 200

Messerschmitt, which was temporarily prohibited from producing aircraft, therefore focused on the production of other products. In 1952, Fend approached Messerschmitt with the idea of ​​producing small motor vehicles. These were based on its Fend Flitzer invalid carriage. The first Fend vehicle to go into production at the Messerschmitt factory in Regensburg was the KR175. The name Kabinenroller means "scooter with a cabin." Although the Messerschmitt name and logo were used on the car, a separate company, Regensburger Stahl- und Metallbau GmbH, was established for the production and sale of the vehicle. The KR200 replaced the KR175 in 1955. Although the basic frame was the same as that of the KR175, the KR200 was otherwise almost completely redesigned. There were changes to the bodywork (particularly the wheel cutouts in the front fenders) and an improved hood design. The rear suspension and engine mount were also revised, and hydraulic shock absorbers were fitted to all three wheels.Mileage 29.087 km odometer readingYear of construction 1959Color blueMargin or VAT Margin
