Some Japanese Are Taking That Kei Car Thing A Bit Too Far

Some Japanese Are Taking That Kei Car Thing A Bit Too Far:

An obviously Axis-inspired driver was seen today in Kamakura, Japan, complete with aloha shirt and toy poodle. A British crime writer who stood next to me swore up and down  that this is the real thing and an original Messerschmitt Kabinenroller. What do you think?
I think this is too slick a fiberglass replica of the Messerschmitt. The real McMesserschmitt had three wheels instead of four, and the bodywork had some serious panel gaps.
The real Messerschmitt Kabinenroller had a 173 cm³ (10.5ci)  enginelet that propelled the Schmitt to an exhilarating 90 km/h  (55 mph). For a long time, it would have been just fine for the freeway.
The story that Messerschmitt had a surplus of  Me 109 fighter canopies that were recycled into the Kabinenroller is most likely apocryphal .
