"In a uniformly patinated condition that suits the vehicle well. A great starting point for restoration or to preserve as is."

Description

The little Isetta became a big world car. It all started in Italy with Iso, and shortly after, BMW bought the license to build it themselves. They made numerous changes and improvements, and soon it was the BMW variant that became the model for most of the offshoots around the world. The Isetta came to be assembled in France, England, Belgium, Spain, Brazil, and Argentina.

This particular Isetta comes from the British factory in Brighton. There, they produced a purely three-wheeled variant (otherwise, it had dual rear wheels placed closely together) that was favorable under the tax regulations there. This was also advantageous in Sweden, where three-wheelers are classified as motorcycles.

This specific Isetta was sold new in Sweden in 1962 and was put away quite early. For the past 55 years, it has only been brought out sporadically for short trips around the yard. It is not registered, but the original inspection instruments are included.
