Any Messerschmitt's in the mix ??

I HAVE FOUR MESSERSCHMITTS . A '54 KR-175 , '55 KR-200 DELUXE , '59 TG-500 & '63 KR-200

THE KR-175 WILL BE SOLD SOON .
TOO MANY MICROCARS & NO JOB MEANS A FEW SACRIFICES .

Do you start "customizing" it yourself?
Do you take it to get it detailed/painted/modified?
Do you just go for a very long drive?

I'm going for a very long drive! and I can't wait![/QUOTE

Hopefully the first thing I do is drive home from Shreveport but that depends on time of year. It will probably spend the first winter inside the shop getting some custom work done. Seats and such.

SELL IT
(just kidding)

Very, very nice
I'm sooooo jealous

The wife and I are still deciding. Do we fly to Shreveport and bring the first one home when it's ready and have the second one delivered or do we wait until the second is ready and drive them both home?

I sincerely hope that is the only hard decision you have to make.

 

[Frim]

You can have it delivered to your door if you want.
They have not worked out the final pricing of it (the full transport fee and the additional fee for the to your door service).
You can go in, order it, do your paperwork and funding; then depending on the options you choose, it will be dropped off at your doorstep the next day.

I paid $850 to have a subaru delivered from Manhattan to St Louis. My flight to Shreveport will be $235. I looks like a fly in/drive out decision.

I sincerely hope that is the only hard decision you have to make.

That wouldn't be a hard choice for me. Pick up the first one at the factory and get it HOME and then use it to go pick up the second. You then get to become an early, if not first, touring pair.

 

[Sethodine]

There has been word floating around that to-door delivery or factory pickup will cost the same regardless. Something about EM comping the cost of the flight and hotel stay. We'll have to wait-and-see what that is all gonna cost in the end, though.

First thing is check the oil and water.
Second is check the tire presure.

We'll pick up ours in Shreveport and take it home in my enclosed trailer.
I really want time to go over it completely and prep for the road, like I do the Harley.
My wife says I'm anal, she's probably right!
