Messerschmitt

Messerschmitt has always been the King of microcars.
It was very hard to find one , and I was looking for one in 20 years before I got a wreck from Sweden .
It was in the garage for some years, and it was slowly more and more complete.
But one day it was another for sale in Norway, who was stripped down, but complete, and best of all , to a OK price, so we baught that also.
The second one (the one who get yellow) was more complete and we decided to restore that one first. It was a time with paralell restoring in the garage, and they was on the road within 1 month interval. Since then they have been like sibling.
They have been running many km now, in Scandinavia, and everywhere we meet people , we see the smile!
The yellow one we shipped to New York in 2013. and used it for a trip on Lincoln Highway over to SanFrancisco. 6000 km with 2 persons and some luggage with no mecanical trouble! I don’t think it was possible to to that with any of the other microcars we have.

The pic on right is from the westcoast in Noway where it is a lot of uphill and downhills with a spectacular nature. We love it!
