Der Big Willy
The smallest of the German 1950’s three-wheelers had just borrowed their famous name from WW2 aircraft designer Willy Messerschmitt, but this is the real thing. The late-model DB 601 inverted V12 makes 1,475 bhp on aviation fuel. Power goes via the propeller shaft to a two-speed gearbox, and further on to the front wheels. The 'NRA Special' version get to keeps the two 20 mm cannon mounted above the engine.
Seeing that lately old 'warbirds' have gotten quite pricey, this will be one expensive vehicle.
