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.


Which one, the Sunbeam Tiger with the live rear axle, or the three-wheeled Messerschmitt? It'd be interesting to see how either of those had a rear suspension similar to the 928's.

I'm sorry, Dave, perhaps I wasn't clear, or maybe you didn't read my post. The 4 wheeled version was called the FMR Tiger.

Ahh, I didn't understand. Add to that the fact that I had been reading about the Project Tiger in "Classic Motorsports" magazine, and...

I'll have to see what I can find about the four-wheeler!
