The Appeal

The BMW Isetta is one of the most recognisable microcars ever made. Born from a licensing agreement with Italian manufacturer Iso, BMW's bubble car became a symbol of post-war ingenuity and accessible motoring, with its distinctive front-opening door and irresistible charm earning it a devoted following among collectors.

This 1957 example has been extensively restored and is presented in a striking cream and peppermint green colour scheme. The vendor states the vehicle is in very good condition both cosmetically and mechanically, and it represents a charming opportunity to acquire a well-presented example of BMW's beloved bubble car.
