I grew up in Munich, Bavaria, and as a child the Isetta was a common aspect. I never got into one, so, now I took a ride in it, thanks, beautiful car, the engine is well known to me, from the 250 BWM motorcycle, used for my driver´s licence test for "heavy motorcycles", good ol´times, thanks for the video!

The original Iseatta was designed by Iso in Italy, it was also built under license in France by Velam with the same two stroke engine than the Iso version. BMW versions like this one were not quie the same, different side and rear windows, and a 4 stroke engine derived from BMW motorcycles...

Oh that was just terrific! I so enjoyed that. From the best ever colour scheme to the faded memory of a ride I never took before this. Ah but I do remember the engine noise. Is it a 2 stroketurbo? I see someone saying single cylinder. Well done and "thanks for the memory." Who sang that around about 1958?

I think this is an early 1957 model (tohough it may have been sold later). I own a 1957 US model with sliding windows. From 1957 on, sliding windows ("Isetta Export" type) seem to have been the successor type of your Isetta.

This was an Isetta adopting the Heinkel/Trojan side and rear windows. The Heinkel was a much better looking car.
Y'know the fact that the Isetta is as cute as anything in the first place really seems counter-intuitive to the bubble window being "much more pleasing to look at" but you are right, it IS more pleasing to the eye. Seems strange to me that such an iconic and instantly recognizable machine can look so different. Dare I say they may have sold more Isettas if they'd built more bubble windows?

David M Relax man, I was making a hypothetical argument that wasn't really all that serious. They wouldn't have sold more Isettas because Isettas were from the age of massive chrome and huge fins in the US (those were practical), that was the type of car that sold then, and in big numbers, not cute little micro cars. The age of the economy car didn't really start in the US until around the first oil embargo and the age of the microcar may not have arrived.... although if the Smartcar is considered a microcar perhaps it finally has.

Nice car! The steering wheel should be cream colored to be correct. Your muffler isn't the original design but looks nice just the same. Some early '57 Isetta's had the '56 bubble window body like yours but it's definitely not a '58.
