Nice to see you're still doing fine work - I was thinking about the 'Tina the other day and hoping it would be back soon!
I remember the Messerscmitt (my selling checker reckons that should be Hammersmith!) as an "interesting" car in my youth; though they were quite rare up here (the traditional bubble cars were more popular and the Bond/Reliants were almost common). I suppose the aircraft cockpit captured my imagination, even if it was German!
I look forward to seeing the finished paint job - I suspect that it will be much better than the original - I don't remember them as having a high gloss finish when they were around.
