Messerschmitt KR200 by Quiralu |
|
| These models are not the original issue from the 1950s. They are reproductions made with the original dies from 1994 by the French firm of | ||
| Louis Surber SA. They are part of a series of 15 different castings which also include the Vespa 400 and Isetta Velam. An original Quiralu 'Schmitt has a black baseplate, a driver and a high price tag! These reproductions are issued in almost original boxes but have shiny tinplate |  |
|
| baseplates and do not feature the driver. The canopy is also quite different when they are closely compared. I almost bought an original mint and boxed Quiralu Messerschmitt back in 1978, but the 18 pounds was outside my budget! I have since seen the same thing for 400 pounds but at least these replicas enable us poor folk to indulge a little. | ||
