Description

Rare 1953 Messerschmitt KR175, the first model year of this iconic German bubble car and believed to be the only unmolested survivor from 1953 in existence. This is serious micro-car history—of approximately 15,000 KR175s built between 1953 and 1955, only 50 are known to survive today. Powered by a 175cc two-stroke engine producing 9 bhp with a theoretical top speed of 90 kph, it represents a fascinating chapter when the German aircraft manufacturer Messerschmitt pivoted to civilian transportation after World War II.

The KR175 predates the more common KR200 and exemplifies the ingenious engineering that defined the postwar bubble-car era. An extraordinary opportunity to own one of the rarest and most historically significant micro-cars ever produced.
