Italian motorcycle manufacturer Metalmeccanica Italiana Valtrompia s.p.a., makers of the brand MI-VAL , assembled KR175s in Brescia, Italy, using components imported from Messerschmitt but with their own 172 cc (10.5 cu in) two-stroke engine installed. These cars were sold as the MI-VAL Mivalino.
Motocarrozzetta two-stroke engine and production began towards the end of 1954. Nicknames "Mivalino," the charming microcar enjoyed a certain vogue. Production, however, was fairly short-lived, ending in 1955 or '56, and it is believed that no more than 100 were made.
