I stopped at a market to pick up a pop. Saw this parked out front. Talked to the guy for a few minutes. It's a 1 cylinder messerschmitt & has a top speed of 62 mph. It is one of 21 known left! Talk about a cool little car. Which he had to classify as a motorcycle in Oregon. Funny as they made him classify it as a motorcycle. They required him to get a motorcycle endorsement. Yet they wouldn't let him take the motorcycle test in the messerschmitt

I had a Messerschmidt for a few years. It's still in So Cal, AFIK. There was a Tiger in Nipomo, right up the road from me. That's the 4 wheeled version. Interesting to note that it had a rear suspension setup that had all the characteristics of the one "invented" by Porsche for the 928. I agree there are a LOT more than 21 left. There's a Messerschmidt club in the UK that gets more than that number on their outings.
