Can anyone identify this 3-wheel car?

I happened across a picture of this car and was curious if anyone could identify it. I checked the referenced website, FFFFOUND, but couldn't find the subject picture.

As always, any help is appreciated.

Thanks!!

Best answer: That is a Messerschmitt. Same folk who made the plane.

'cause of the glass roof and the way people have to sit behind each other, it colloquially went with the phrase "couple in aspic" ("Ehepaar in Aspik") - sort of belongs to the brand name...

Saw one of these in a campgroud at Fussen when we were visiting Neuschwannstein in 1988. It was turquoise. Sweet ride, if a little small!

If you are interested in finding out /seeing more of these, there are a bunch of pics here; that site was part of this post on microcars in general.
