1959 FMR Messerschmitt KR 200 Cabriolet Bubble car – NO RESERVE, NO VAT & ULEZ exempt.

 

I have had the pleasure of owning this little beauty for 12 and a half years, and always kept it indoors.

 

The most desirable of the Bubble cars.

19.9.59

191cc petrol 2 stroke Sachs engine.

48,217 miles.

3 previous keepers.

Red and black with red interior.

No MOT required.

Free Historic Road Tax.

V5 Registration Document.

 

After 12 years in storage the engine runs and still sounds georgeous.

12 years ago I duck-oiled the engine compartment and you can probably still see that in the pictures.

Original ignition key.

Original door key.

Original registration number (yes it’s transferrable).

Original Aluminium hubcaps.

Original rubber floor mat.

Original side windows with handles.

Original luggage rack included.

Original steel wings and steel rear mudguard.

Tax discs back to 1983.

Notice the child seat is still in it, which often goes missing to accommodate more shopping.

 

Superb floor in it.

Excellent door hinge.

The hood looks like it’s the original.

 

It will probably want a new battery.

Personally I would also renew the fuel and fuel pipe.

It would also benefit from some new sponge in the rear seat squab as the original sponge is turning into powder.

 

A little bit of cosmetic work and you’ll have one of those £30,000 cars.

 

In the unlikely event that you might want to criticise it to my face, please arrange a viewing before bidding (not after winning it).

 

Sorry but there is no Buy it Now price. I am just going to accept whatever it gets.

 

Payment by cash on collection, cleared cheque or bank transfer before collection.

 

I would like payment within 7 days please and collection within 14 days which can be any day of the week by arrangement. Thank you.

I can arrange delivery if required at approximately £1 per mile. My postcode is CA15 6PB.

 

Finally, please remember that they all look a bit better in the pictures than in real life.
