I've seen hemi powered Fiat Topolinos, Nash Metropolitans and hemis in other diverse makes and models but never in a Messerschmit KR200 bubble car (55-64). That'd be one wild ride given its diminutive size. http://justacarguy.blogspot.com.au/2015/12/havent-seen-hemi-powered-messerschmitt.html
The Issetta that I had only had one door and that was in the front. I guess that they made more than one kind.
Allison V12 Isetta A bit more searching on the Messerschmitt. Tube chassis with VWish or wide 5 front end and Ford rear axle? I wonder where it is today and how/if it survived from 60s?
That model is called the BMW 600 or sometimes referred to as the Limousine. There were a few drag cars that used a Messerschmitt body so they could race in a certain class with an advantage. The red three wheeler shown in the above post is a KR200 either a ‘55,’56, or early ‘57. Here are mine..... Jim (Kabinenroller) The ‘Schmitt Haus Messerschmitt Specialties
There must have been dozens of "bubble cars" as they were called, it was a fad of the fifties in Europe. Messerschmitt, Isetta, Trojan, Heinkel, Janus were just a few. The Austin Mini was designed specifically to compete with this new class of tiny cars and effectively did them in.
