MESSERSCHMITT PHOTOS FROM THE 1960s Part 2

[Jonathanpoll]

Lovely video, uploaded on my Birthday, what more can I ask you? My dad has a TG500 in bits in his garage, he is half way restoring it. You may have heard of him, his name is Nick Poll. Nice video, must have took forever to find all the pictures!

@Jonathanpoll As soon as i saw your name i realised you are part of a very famous family in the microcar world! We owe a lot to Nick and what he has achieved! Nice to find you are keeping up with the tradition! I was relieved to find the early slides here were still ok to view athough some others of the same time period are no longer in good condition

@ADMIRALSCORNER Lol, and I am a bigger bubblecar anorak than my Dad! The 500 BOR car was sold a little while back, must have been worth a lot! Must be nice for yuo to se a car that you have seen 50 years ago! You can still upload the bad conditiopn pictures, and by the way, great angles for the pics!

[ADMIRALSCORNER]

@Jonathanpoll That is good to hear! You have a high standard to keep up with! It is good to know that most Tiger owners realised it was a car well worth preserving and a high percentage of them are still around, Sadly it is not the same story with the three wheelers!

@ADMIRALSCORNER I know ... There is a scrapyard in germany somewhere, where there are mostly Bubblecars, my dad went there, and said you can see the rotten outline of isetta's, 175's etc... He even brought back a 175 steering wheel to tell the story

@Jonathanpoll Interesting! I wonder if your dad could upload such photos to youtube too! In case you have not come across all the other microcar videos I have uploaded, go to my ADMIRALSCORNER home page and enter MICROCARS in the search box. there may be other photos and videos to interest you too there !

@ADMIRALSCORNER I already done that ;) I don't know if my Dad has pics, I'll ask tommorow, bedtime now

Another video full of nostalgia Mike, and I do hope that some of your fellow enthusiasts see this excellent material as I'm sure it would bring back some very happy memories for them...5* Bob

[ADMIRALSCORNER]

Thanks again Bob.I hope so too! So far very little feedback, perhaps its too early for many!, but Some of the vehicles involved featured are still running !

Some real good shots there of those old cars an some you could see hand built.

1963 64 your photos go away back Mike.

What era did those cars first start to appear and when production stopped?.

So strange as I said before for us across the pond to see this. the smallest cars I can remember was the Morris minor and mini, MG, VW bug.

Messerschmitts were produced in various models from 1954 to 1964.On our visit to the factory they were winding down production as the price and availability of normal cars was seriously reducing demand. You could buy a Mini much cheaper than the Tiger 4 wheel version.
