For the third release on our 1:18 scale Messerschmitt KR200 (Kabinenroller or Cabin Scooter), we've chosen a lovely - and seasonal - rose pink colour scheme. The real-life three wheeled bubble with 191 cc single cylinder 2-stroke engine, was designed by aircraft engineer Fritz Fend and produced in the Messerschmitt aircraft factory in Regensburg, Germany. Introduced in 1955, between then and 1964 when production ceased, approximately 40,000 rolled out of the factory.
Our latest version registered 111 BOL, comes with a hard clear 'bubble' roof rather than our soft-top option and apart from the all-over rose pink body, it features a black chassis and black/silver trim. Inside the car, designed so that the driver and passenger ride in tandem, the dashboard and the seats echo the rose body colour, while the aircraft-style steering wheel and 'carpeting' are moulded in a warm cream.
There is still a lot of interest in this unusual automobile nicknamed 'Schmitt' today, with enthusiasts all over the world willing to pay over 20,000 Euros for one, against its original DM2500 (1278 Euros)!
