About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Sound older paint, chipped engine cover corners and scraped right side lower body panel. Good upholstery. Dull, scratched aluminum bright trim. Pitted chrome latches. Usable but far from the "show field" ready car described and not the FMR Tiger it emulates.

Market commentary

If the buyer's motivation was to have a fun and unusual car the price paid was reasonable, but it's only a highly modified KR200 with Trabant power and only in a KR200 would a Trabant engine swap be considered even remotely desirable. Even at that, though, it's hard to argue with the value in this Messerschmitt at this price.
