NO RESERVE - 1953/56 Isetta Project

HIGHLIGHTS

  
  • Part finished project
  • Good base
  • 90% of parts included

THE APPEAL

One of the most famous microcars produced, this iconic BMW Isetta, is being offered as a part-finished restoration project. The vendor purchased the Isetta from the estate of a gentleman who was restoring it several years ago. 
It is thought to have 90% of the parts, and the body is in very good condition, apart from a dent in the front door and wheel arch. This makes it an ideal base to work with whether you finish this restoration or use it for donor parts for an Isetta in a partially restored state. 
Please note: As this was purchased as a part project, the vendor cannot be sure what parts are actually missing.
