Now if we were doing TV/Film cars I would do Sam Lowry's personal (not personnel) transporter from Brazil, which is my favouritest film ever....

... right I'm going to have to go and buy this kit now aren't I.

And I was just about to dive in and say it had a gull roof. And people these days think the "suicide" rear doors on Mazda's RX-8 are edgy...

I think they did a sporty 4 wheel version called a tiger if my memory serves my right.

My dad restored a Messerschmitt back in the late seventies. Great fun riding around in the back seat!

As I kid, I used to see a chap commute work in a Messerschmitt every day; it was light blue and he wore a flying helmet- it looked like a miniature 109 on wheels!

We used to say that his Messerschmitt, while slower than a Spitfire, had a better turning circle.


Triumph Spitfire of course.... ;-)

No mean feat, as the Spitfire had a 24 foot turning circle; better than a London taxi Image

The driving position in the KR200 might be a little too sit up and beg for those seated figures. Maybe you should go with the "spokesmodel".

I hope you haven't forgotten about this build Brews as it's one I'd really like to see complete.

The chromed wheels actually look very smart.
