This is a 1959 F.M.R. TG 500. It is commonly referred to as a Messerschmitt Tiger because of the predecessor company, Messerschmitt. Tigers were produced in Germany from 1957 thru 1963. It was the masterwork of Fritz Fend.

It is powered by a two-stroke, two-cylinder 494 cc engine, developing 23 horsepower. It has a 4-speed gearbox with reverse and weighs 675 lbs.

Approximately 300 tigers were produced. Four body styles were used, with the rarest of the styles being the roadster, which we see here. This is one of ten roadsters still in existence today. It is believed this is the only one in the United States.
