BMW Isetta – c. 1962
Sold without registration title
Sold without contrôle technique
The end of the 1940s saw the birth of a new style of car, completely at odds with the usual innovations: smaller, less powerful and more... practical! Rivolta, a refrigerator manufacturer who had recently entered the world of mechanical engineering with the design of scooters, set out to attack the new micro-car craze...
It was at the Turin Motor Show in 1953 that the Isetta was announced by Iso, Rivolta’s brand (which would go on to create
some of the most beautiful cars in the world). The little car was an immediate media success, as its looks were so intriguing!
Unfortunately, the commercial side did not follow, and in 1955, Iso was forced to sell the Isetta licence: BMW, then on the edge of bankruptcy, bought the licence.
Our example has been part of the garage of the Belgian BMW importer (Ets Moorkens) since the early 1960s, when the car was traded in when a new car was purchased.
A restoration project, the car is now in a fairly sound state of preservation. The patina is beautiful, but the upholstery was
replaced before it arrived in the garage.
This is a very exciting restoration project for someone who wants to drive something different!
