KR 200 (rounded windscreen, open wheel arches). This model was introduced early 1955, but the three rhombs on the front (with the letters FMR, Fahrzeug- und Maschinenbau GmbH Regensburg) make clear this is a Fend-built version of 1958+. 'DD' license plate is from 1960, but I'm quite sure it was only used for second hand imports (DD = Duitse Deuk, German Dent, since many accidented cars from Germany were imported, repaired and sold in Holland).

Oops: it's not the normal KR 200 but the convertible KR 201 with kind of a sunvisor.

Oops 2: It is an open top model, but not the real KR 201 Cabrio, just a modified KR 200. the KR 201 didn't have the sliding side windows and the front window was without the frame.

When Messerschmitt started to built aeroplanes again in 1956, they stopped the prodiction of the KR cars. But maybe in Holland they were still seen as Messerschmitt, since everybody knew them like that. I've seen a picture of the FMR on the RAI (Amsterdam Motor Show), with the text:

Messerschmitt Coupé
de koning der scooters
Ingebouwde verwarming
snelheid 100 KM p. uur
verbruik 25-30 p. liter
belasting fl. 30,- p. jaar
rijbewijs voor motorfiets
vraag hier gratis folders met bestelschema

That would make it a Messerschmitt KR 200 Coupé, even though in Germany they were renamed into FMR.

Messerschmitt never built these cars. He backed the development and manufacturing of Fritz Fend, hence the use of the script badge. Production was done intially at Rosenhiem, RSM, before expansion moving to an unused Messerschmitt owned facility at Regensburg, FMR. Messerschmitt did not approve of the development of the four wheeler so did not fund it. Thus that car, the TG500, was purely FMR so they do not have the script badge yet came from the same factory as the three wheelers which then was FMR rather than the earlier RSM. Clearly marketing forces dictated naming and titles in differing countries as always. In many countries the use of a recognised aircraft manufacturers name is clear marketing as it implies quality. Not an unusual occourance in vehicle manufacture. I think this is where the confussion has arisen. However there were four basic models. Dometop, Cabriolet, Sport (only one ever made) and Roadster, usually refered to as a KR201. The car pictured is a late Cabrio.
