G'day Peter
I have had the pleasure of driving a few Messerschmitts including a Tiger and
found them one of the most amazing cars I have ever driven. There is a bloke
near me who has a well used one and for his other car he has an Aston Martin
DB4.
Not fast, but I found that all I had to do was to think about turning and
around it would go.
Yes I agree about the plexi dome being a pleasant experience.

Thanks for that, Scott. Fabulous !
As a Messerschmitt driver, I found that a clear plexi dome wasn't quite the
greenhouse you would think, and offered quite a quirky but pleasant driving
experience. Nevertheless, several accessory sunshades were available and
sometimes necessary, including an external white linen cover, which would be
torn off at speed in a Healey. It did magnify interior car sounds somewhat,
like a parabolic mike.
Best
Peter
