Vehicle Description
European-style 1956 BMW Isetta 300 with two-tone paint and highly
desirable "Z-mold" trim. BMW only produced a small quantity of
actual "bubble window" Isettas before modifying the design to the
more common slider-window style starting in 1957 and continuing
through 1962, when production on the world's most popular microcar
ceased. This car is a left-driver with swing-arm front suspension,
an all-powerful 4-stroke, 1-cylinder, 13hp under the seat. The
engine has been stroked for more power and has an all-electric
ignition system. Engine produces 14hp with a top speed of 53mph.
Standard bench-style seating in the interior has been updated with
ultra-fine quality, custom leather upholstery and dual heated
seats. Matching leather side panels and new Mercedes carpeting
complete the interior. The beige sunroof top matches the car's
leather panels, and the lighter yellow color completes the handsome
interior. Frame has been stripped and powder-coated. Engine,
transmission and rear end have been rebuilt to concours standards.
This exceptional BMW has been completely restored with meticulous
attention to detail inside and out. Torpedo headlights and modified
bumper extension help to complete the overall look, mimicked from
the car on display at the BMW museum in Germany.
