Messerschmitt - Mival Mivalino
I thought this was 'just another' Messerschmitt like the 3 aside it, but the Microcarmuseum says this about it:
In November 1953 the Italian Mi-Val motorcycle company introduced their own version of the Messerschmitt KR-175 initially called the Messerschmitt-Mival.
It was built from parts imported from Germany, but Mi-Val installed their own 171.7cc engine and called it the Mivalino.
It seems production didn't start until the end of 1954 and probably ended in 1955 or 1956.
Very few of these were built and fewer survive, many Microcar enthusiasts are not even aware that the Mivalino was built at all.
About 100 were built, about 8 survive.
I should have taken more photos...
