Gateway Classic Cars of Dallas is proud to offer this essential to
any collection, BMW Isetta 300 available in our Dallas-Fort Worth
Showroom. First developed by Renzo Rivolta's highly successful Iso
S.p.A in Italy and license-built in several countries, the Isetta,
Italian for "little Iso," was primarily intended to provide
economical and practical transportation for the masses. However, it
also enjoys a largely unheralded racing heritage, gained in 1954
when a trio of Iso "works" Isettas swept the podium in the economy
class at the storied Mille Miglia. While small in size, the
Isetta's influence was large, helping save BMW from being taken
over by Mercedes Benz, it's much larger rival, during the late
1950s. Finished in red, this rare BMW Isetta is an improved
sliding-window, 298 cc variant from 1958 equipped with a delightful
canvas sunroof and complimented by nice brightwork and period-style
whitewall tires from Coker. It was acquired by the consignor in
2009 after a prior unsuccessful attempt to purchase it from the
then owner, Bill Klageman of Michigan, who restored it thoroughly
from 1996-2002. Under the consignor's care, this Isetta has seen
only limited local driving, and has never been shown, allowing its
new owner the pleasure of returning it to the public eye. It has
been serviced as needed, including a cleaning of the carburetor.
Many copies of restoration-related correspondence, as well as parts
and service orders accompany the sale of this small but mighty BMW.
The perfect choice for the collector who appreciates the fine art
of micro-engineering. This Isetta 300 is for sale in our
Dallas-Fort Worth showroom can be seen in greater detail including
