The lovely light blue of the latest release on the Messerschmitt KR200 Bubble car must have been a great summer colour in which to go motoring in its heyday, manufactured between 1955 and 1964 in the Messerschmitt factory in Germany. OXford's model is registered LPV 966 from its early days. The high level of detail is shown off to great advantage in 1:18th scale, with the chrome masking/plating exterior detail looking exceptionally good against the paintwork. The dark blue interior seating and flooring and pale blue dashboard complete the look. The clear roof would give the driver and tandem passenger a panoramic view under the equally blue summer skies. Only 40,000 models were made in real life and the ‘Schmitty’ is now highly collectable – at a price to match. A good reason to buy our delightful and nostalgic little replica!
