value now, immaterial - as I don't intend to ever be parted from the Messerschmitt, I think of its worth only when I have to reinsure it each year. Because I never want to sell it, I consider it worthless but also priceless. I know that sounds strange, but as I don't want to sell, I don't need to think about it.
Value = priceless
Worth = £15,000
Likelihood of me selling = nil

They were some of the first cars BMW made, I believe. Wasn't the first range of BMW cars an Austin 7 made under licence?Jan-hendrik wrote:Isettas were built by BMW, weren't they? I remember them too.

Re: new member
I have made similar statements in the past having owned and (sometimes) coveted dozens of vehicles, but ... 'ever -never' is too long for a human lifeI don't intend to ever be parted from the Messerschmitt

so . . . I've had to retract them
