Chassis no. 64710; Engine no. 2256724. Ruby Red with black cloth top over black. 191/10hp two-stroke Fichtel & Sachs single, 4-speed sequential gearbox, hubcaps, luggage rack, picnic basket, dual mirrors.

Evaluation: Sound original upholstery, very good paint with light orange peel, chrome and cast aluminum bits. Quality three-layer top. Excellent engine and drivetrain. It wasn’t this good when it left Regensburg.

Bottom Line: Very well done, if only relative to Messerschmitt standards. And since this one is a cabriolet, the new owner will be able to drive on a sunny day without enduring smothering heat under a plexiglass bubble canopy. A sound buy for a bubble top, and a good value for the rarer cabriolet version.
