JurischMotoplan

Jurisch's sole complete-vehicle family was conceived as a personal machine bridging motorcycle and car. It placed two steered wheels ahead of one driven rear wheel and enclosed one occupant beneath a hinged canopy made from widened Steib S250 sidecar shells. Messerschmitt components supplied the windshield and front suspension, while the Heinkel Kabine donated the engine/drivetrain. Unusual twin vertical steering levers pivoted beneath the seat; canopy, rear section, seat and fuel tank could hinge upward for service access. Three related prototypes account for the entire program: the low-canopy chassis 101 that survives, a second with larger wheels and a taller roof, and a utility version with a lockable box behind the driver. Those are experimental body executions of Motoplan, not separately marketed model names. Attempts to sell the design failed; chassis 101 went to Joe Berliner's American dealership network, was later rediscovered and restored, and sold in 2013 for $103,500. The catalog uses the full published 1954–59 date envelope because sources conflict sharply; it does not claim continuous annual production.
