Gateway Classic Cars of Dallas/Ft.Worth is proud to offer this
essential to any collection, BMW Isetta 300 available in our
Dallas-Fort Worth Showroom. First developed by Renzo Rivoltas
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 Isettas influence was large, helping save BMW
from being taken over by Mercedes Benz, its 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 consignors 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

detail including 100+ HD pictures and an HD video at
