I grew up in Los Angeles in the fifties and my whole family were into cars & aircraft (to earn the money to pay for those cars and their never ending modifications) so the Messerschmidt is a natural curiosity for me (plus I'm a WWII airplane geek...never miss a Confederate Airforce air show). My earliest memory of the Messerschmidt had to be the hilariously funny 60's Peter Sellers movie "the Party". I can't help but think that if Mr. Bean were doing his thing back then he'd be driving a Messerschmidt.
