I drove this car 1962 together with my uncle from Berlin to Teheran. As a student , we thought we could save the money for two tickets by airline and invest it in this car. We can sell it in Iran and fly back to Germany. We installed a luggage carrier on the top and started a never ending journey , due of multiple repairs at our trip. After 4 weeks we reached Teheran , but nobody wanted to buy my BMW. Due of the custom regulations , we had to export the car back out of Iran , what we did . After 6 weeks , which was needed to travel back and after so many repairs with man made spare parts in the Turkey , we reached Germany / Bavaria (the home of the car) before the car finally gave up. BMW accepted to take back the car with the unique history and gave us complimentary one night hotel in Munich and transport with a real BMW with driver to Berlin. Thanks to all people ,which helped us to carry our luggage in the mountains of turkey and make so many different spare parts ,which you needed to repair our "BMW"

I was driving Isetta for about 4-5 years (only sometimes, in nice weather, after restoration). One can get used to everything, even the gear lever on the left hand, but what was a problem, is pushing the engine to the limits. Drivers of "normal" cars never experience this - when holding the accelerator pedal "to the floor" and driving full 85 km/h, the car decelerates from itself at the slightest incline. But never mind, it accelerates back when going downhill, lol!

When you drive it, it accelerates quite well, but the gears are shorter than in "grown up" cars. So, if you stop on a steep hill, just shift the first gear and accelerate up to the speed it can hold - like the truck you certainly met at the steep hill driving 20 mph, lol!

In the 1950-ties, where there were not many cars on the road, Isetta was OK. Nowadays, with so crowded roads and so nervous drivers, I did not feel comfortable at all...
