Messerschmitt KR 200 Cabriolet For Sale (1959) | | I have a very nice Messerschmitt Cabriolet. Motorcycle/car. It is in a good condition and well driving all things are working,or we can swap if you have something exciting vintage MC or car or money both from one side or the other, ex MG Cab or Messerschitt TG (Tiger)or other. Here are some information taking from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Messerschmitt_KR200 In 1957, the KR200 Kabrio model was released, featuring a cloth convertible top and fixed side window frames. The KR200 replaced the KR175 in 1955. While using the same basic frame as the KR175 with changes to the bodywork (notably including wheel cut outs in the front fenders) and an improved canopy design,the KR200 was otherwise an almost total redesign.The rear suspension and engine mounting were reworked, and hydraulic shock absorbers were installed at all three wheels. Tire sizes were enlarged to 4.00x8. In 1955, in order to prove the KR200's durability, Messerschmitt prepared a KR200 to break the 24-hour speed record for three-wheeled vehicles under 250 cc (15.3 cu in). The record car had a special single-seat low-drag body and a highly modified engine, but the suspension, steering, and braking components were stock. Throttle, brake, and clutch cables were duplicated. The record car was run at the Hockenheimring for 24 hours and broke 22 international speed records in its class, including the 24-hour speed record, which it set at 103 km/h (64 mph) Engine and transmission: The KR200 ran on a 191 cc (11.7 cu in) Fichtel & Sachs air-cooled single cylinder two-stroke engine positioned in front of the rear wheel,[6] just behind the passenger's seat.[3] The engine had two sets of contact breaker points and, to reverse, the engine was stopped and then restarted, going backwards. This was effected by pushing the key further in the ignition switch than normal, whether intentionally or not. One result of this was that the KR200's sequential, positive-stop transmission provided the car with the same four gear ratios available in reverse as in forward movement.you can see the Messerschmitt in driving condition on a HD video link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FtnqQW_EWlc&context=C2fe9eADOEgsToPDskJ5Y8SkomBU_fkjdecVq3lX
