He probably owned a Messerschmitt KR200 as his first car - that IS how reverse works! :thumbsup:

Holy hell - Messerschmitt made cars?

Yep, during the post war period, German companies were prohibited from making airplanes, so Messerschmitt switched to making cars for quite a while.

No connection with BMW - Messerschmitt started building Aircraft again in the late 60's and later became part of the Daimler-Benz Aerospace conglomerate.

BMW had it's own microcar - the Isetta... Which had a proper reverse gear in it.

that's why subaru made their first civilian transport thingy too, it was a scooter i think called the rabbit. they used left over airplane wheels from when they made a version of the Mitsubishi zero during the war.
