Yahoo Autos The Inter Berline Is Like a Messerschmitt Microcar
If you're into obscure microcars, boy do we have the thing for you. This car, offered for sale by RM Sotheby's, is a 1957 Inter 175A Berline. It's a French-built three-wheeler with folding front wheels and a folding glass canopy. It's also mint green. You should buy it.
Welcome to You Must Buy, our daily look at the cars you really should be buying instead of that boring commuter sedan.
According to the auction listing, approximately 300 examples of the 175A Berline were produced, with around 10 percent still remaining today. The rear wheel is connected to a single-cylinder two-stroke 175cc engine that produces a monstrous eight horsepower, connected via a chain guide and a three-speed manual transmission.
Much like Germany's Messerschmitt microcar, the Berline features a side-opening canopy cabin area, along with handlebar steering and seating for two. As you can see, amenities are few and far between.
After a three-year concours-quality restoration by the seller, it's being offered by RM Sotheby's at its Amelia Island event in March of 2018, with no reserve price.
