Vehicle Description
The most powerful of the single-door Isettas, this 300 has
benefitted from a comprehensive restoration on a particularly solid
original example. The body shell has no evident rust and has been
refinished in a red & white two-tone popular when new. The later
Isettas like this had convenient sliding widows along with the
larger-displacement engine, sunroof and better lights. It even has
the optional turn signals!
Hydraulic brakes & fully-synchronized transmission make the car fun
to drive, although somewhat unconventional (The former owner is a
Blackhawk helicopter pilot and said driving the Isetta was a
similar experience!). Fully road-legal, the car can cruise at 45
mph and is titled like any other car.
Previously kept in the Carolinas, the car has not been exposed to
salt or outdoor storage. Best of all, the BMW engine has just been
completely overhauled by an Isetta specialist, along with a rebuild
of the transmission, totaling $3800. The car has new tires and our
shop has restored the complete brake system & dash electrics, plus
installed new upholstery in the correct original material & color.
In addition, an all-new wiring harness, voltage regulator & battery
have been fitted.
A minicar is a fun addition to any car collection and a great
counterpoint to your Ferraris, Porsches or muscle cars! Friends
will beg to drive it, which is an experience never forgotten. Nice
Isetta 300s have enjoyed steady appreciation, with an increase of
18% in just the last year, and with #2 cars on the Hagerty tool now
valued at $50,400, this one should be very attractive at a just
reduced price of
$39,500
If you are considering one of the classic or collectible cars on
our website, be assured that coming for a personal visit to inspect
first-hand the car that has captured your fancy is very welcome. We
practice transparency in all of our descriptions, but believe that
nothing is as convincing as seeing and touching the car yourself.
Plan a few hours, so you can see, touch, feel and drive the car,
and enjoy a tour of our restoration shops to see 'where the magic
happens.' If your schedule is too committed, we also welcome a
knowledgeable agent visiting for you. Please understand that sales
are final, so the time for all due diligence is before you buy. Our
cars are sold AS-IS, since most are on consignment from owners. We
follow FTC guidelines for all sales and certainly want our future
clients leaving more glowing reports among our reviews!
