Item # 87593, Vitesse 1/43 1960 Messerschmitt KR 200 Roadster - Grey
In early Spring, 1955, Messerschmitt unveiled a new model, the KR200. Though similar to the KR175, it featured a larger 200 cc engine, wider front track, more sophisticated suspension, and numerous mechanical changes, including a clever system for starting the engine backwards, giving 4 speeds in reverse! KR200s can be distinguished from KR175s by their open front fenders, wraparound windscreen, and radically different dome configuration. In a year and a half, 16,000 KR200s came out of the Regensburg plant.
The KR200 came in several variants: the bubble-top coupe, the convertible cabriolet, the Spartan, topless Sports, and the KR201 roadster.
This KR200 Roadster would make a great addition to any collection.
