The rumour was they used left over fighter canopies on these.

I think not, nice shot of a rare vehicle.
Cheers, HG

Mustn't forget the Zenits, or folders, or...

not so often that German cars appear here - especially when the constructor was Messerschmidt

A rather odd looking car, if I may say so. Using one of those over here would not be a good idea on the highway's. I big tractor trailer would run right over that thing, and almost never know it! You would be dead!

I'm just full of questions . . . It's the only way I learn anything! I have so, so, much to learn using my Pentax K100D DSLR

I had one in 1972 cost £60. Not so cheep now great fun 4 forward gears and by starting the engine backwards 4 in reverse. I was seventeen at the time, kept it for a year and sold it for £65.
Yes Corker I agree, beside London double decker buses and big rigs you feel tiny and very vulnerable.
Sadly I kept no photos.

Many thanks John for posting
