Title: Your " Before" photographs
Post by: richard on October 20, 2014, 07:52:10 PM
has anyone else photo's of their Micro's as they bought the project - all the ones i attach were taken on the day of first seing the car or certainly before ANY work was undertaken by myself  - don't wish to interrupt the flow so a comment here to say this topic looks capable of producing some great pictures keep it up and no going off track eh  ;)

Did it start out as a bodiless Messerschmitt or Nobel?
What did it end up as ?
And why the high perch above the original seat frame? ???

A Trailer............ Under that cover is one of the best Bond MkDs around.  A beautiful Tourer with tasteful upgrades.  Seen it a few times at Bond events years ago.

Ah, now that Bond I remember, from Morecambe in 2003.  It won 3rd place in the Concours ... and first place in my heart!

It's gorgeous!

Peculiar the way some vehicles rust out. The KR200's floor looks relatively intact, but the front wings have suffered a bite from the tinworm.

Always thought the Messerschmitt was the best of the microcars, and I prefer the KR200 to the pricier Tiger that seems to be much desired. The only other Micro I would want to own other than an Isetta.
