Talk:Messerschmitt KR200

Untitled

Thanks for cleaning up my changes. I was just now looking at how to make the picture a thumbnail.

Microcar jokes.

An image I found, apparently an add, entitled "Technische Übersicht" calls one of the four models "Messerschmitt-Kabrio-Limousine". (I thought American adds were too "hard sell".)

as to if

I disagree with this edit. [[1]] What I had been reading was Physics Today': Physics Today, July 2004, page 53, Physics Today, July 2004, page 47'. --David R. Ingham 02:32, 24 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Kits

It says there's a reproduction kit available. Details? -Litefantastic 18:22, 30 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The UK company Tri-tech Autocraft [2] (website currently down, but I found they can still be contacted by phone on +44 17723 14299) sell replica kits for GBP 2650 or assembled ones for GBP 8800 upwards. They also have Isetta kits available. -Cohen the Bavarian 09:17, 9 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Look closely....... I'd get a screeny but lost my copy.

Canopy material

The article suggests that original Perspex / Lucite / acrylic is somehow different from PMMA used in reproductions. Why is that? AFAIK, these are the same polymer. Andy Dingley (talk) 11:07, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Electric version?

Heard that there was an idea for a Experiomental electric battery powered version too? true? Thanks!Andreisme (talk) 22:11, 26 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have never heard of that. You may be thinking of the HMV Freeway of the early '80s. They sold a few electric models.

I could be wrong, though. If you have any documented information from a credible source about an electric KR200, please add the information to the article and cite the source.

Brazil

Is it worth mentioning "In popular culture" that one of these was in the movie Brazil? Justfred (talk) 21:59, 10 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

According to WP:TRIVIA and WP:WPACT, no, it isn't. It has been included and deleted several times. Sincerely, SamBlob (talk) 23:55, 10 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. For once, it had a fairly significant role, rather than just being a prop in the background. Andy Dingley (talk) 00:04, 11 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"It is not sufficient to note that the vehicle had a major influence on its owner or some movie or TV show—such facts belong in the article about the owner, movie or TV show." - WP:WPACT Sincerely, SamBlob (talk) 00:46, 11 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Only Service Car In Existence

I saw what appeared to be a KR200 service car owned by a member of the Kootingal Motor Club (Kootingal, NSW, Australia) last weekend. If there are only 12 made, and only one in existence that would be highly spectacular. I suppose it is possible it is a service car replica, but I do not have the expertise to determine this.
