Personal Story
I bought this car out of a long-standing passion. Ever since I was young, I’ve loved the Isetta’s quirky design and historical significance. When I was living with my parents, a neighbor had one — the very same car that appeared in a movie called Lisbon Story by Wim Wenders. That image stuck with me. Years later, I had the chance to acquire this example, and it’s been a joy to own ever since. Now, with 3 children, a wife and a dog, it’s time to pass it on to someone who will enjoy it just as much.
