A short comment about the Kleinschnittger Roadster

Designed by Paul Kleinschnittger, a scrap aluminum dealer,

who thought he could capture the microcar market by manufacturing a lightweight aluminum car

which would be lighter and faster than the competition. The car is only 114 inches long and 46 inches wide.

It has an ILO 125cc two stroke engine which produces a sizzling 5 horsepower,

and drives the FRONT wheels through a three speed internal gearbox!

There is no reverse. You must get out and push it backwards! They were made from 1950 through 1957 .

Only 1998 of these 360 pound F125 roadsters were manufactured and less

than 100 original cars are believed to survive today.

They were never formally imported into the United States and there are probably only two or three in this country.
