	isetta history
		BMW introduced the restyled Isetta Moto Coupe DeLuxe (sliding-window Isetta) in October 1956 with the larger 298 cc motor for export.
		BMW began exporting Isettas to the U.S. (to a lukewarm response) in 1957.
		Overall, the Isetta was successful enough to encourage BMW to produce the 600, which shared the Isetta’s front door and a motorcycle engine (600 cc) and the more car-like 700 (also powered by a motorcycle engine).

	MY ISETTA --
		My Isetta was in a sorry state when purchased, I neither had the time, skills nor finances to restore my car to a roadworthy condition, so a light cosmetic restoration was undertaken instead.
		The underside, including the wheel arches and engine compartment (the engine came separately) were subjected to much rubbing down with a wire brush and abrasive paper then painted with either smoothrite or anti rust primer.
		After rubbing down the exterior of the car it was painted pastel yellow with white on part of the door.

		The Velam Isetta used a 236 cc two stroke engine, a convertible version of the Velam Isetta was sold from 1957 and a luxury version was introduced in 1958 named the Velam Ecrin.
		Interestingly although the BMW Isetta sold far better than the Velam Isetta many consider Velam's design to be superior.

		the main advantage of the isetta was that it was affordable as well as connected to motorcycles which were extremely popular during the 50ies.
		however, the round shape of the isetta also had a functional character: the car was not only advertised as a lifestyle vehicle but also as a kind of “shopping bag on wheels” that offered optimum storing space in proportion to its relatively small size.
		as custom-built versions, the isetta was also produced as a convertible with a removable roof and as a truck with a detachable panel.

		The Isetta was powered by a 236 cc two-stroke, two-cylinder air-cooled engine mounted just ahead of the right rear wheel, the location chosen to counterbalance the driver's weight.
		Rivolta built the Isetta until 1955, when he decided to stop, although he would return to car building in 1962 with vehicles at the other end of the spectrum: high powered sports cars called Iso Rivoltas.
		Isetta drivers could not be shy or retiring because the car attracted attention everywhere it went.

	BMW Isetta Paint Colors and Schemes 1955–1962 (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The window trim pieces at the lower edge of the side windows on all "Sliding Window" Isettas built between 1960 and 1962 were 20mm in width and had a small "groove" or channel running down the length of the trim piece.
		All paint applied to BMW Isettas at the factory was a sprayed-on nitrocellulose lacquer that gave a nice shiny finish, but over the years it doesn’t seem to hold up to the weather particularly well.
		Researching Isetta colors, combinations, and paint schemes with the BMW factory in Munich, the Standox Paint Company in Germany and England, and the Dupont Corporation was more tedious than I expected, especially since I don’t read German very well.

	globeandmail.com: Smart car follows in footsteps of BMW's Isetta
		The egg-shaped Isetta was born in the aftermath of the Second World War when money, materials and fuel were scarce, one of a number of designs from makers such as Messerschmitt, Heinkel, Dornier, Gogomobile, Trojan and Scootacar.
		The original Isetta appeared in 1953 and its most unusual feature was the hinged front section (perhaps inspired by a refrigerator door, one wag suggests) that allowed occupants to step into the two-seat interior.
		The original Isetta was a little too crude for BMW, however, and it was cosmetically upgraded and mechanically improved, mainly by replacing the two-stroke engine with a 12-hp, 250-cc four-stroke motorcycle unit of its own manufacture.

		The egg-shaped Isetta can be said to be the very best microcar of its time.
		Called Isetta, or "little Iso", the car was a startling, totally unconventional design that caused a furor at its introduction in Turin in November 1953.
		This particular car is an example of the classic German-spec export Isetta, featuring a two-tone in the factory colours of Azure and Bavarian blue.

		Small and egg-shaped, the entire front end of the car hinged outwards to allow entry, and in the event of a crash, the driver and passenger were expected to escape through the canvas sunroof.
		Post-war rationing had been phased out by the time BMW launched the Isetta in 1955, but the European economy was considerably more austere than that of the USA, and the Isetta's 60mpg thirst went down well.
		One factor hampering the Isetta in Great Britain was that it had four wheels, and was thus classified as a car, with all the tax and license requirements that implied.

		The instant success of the Isetta possibly stopped BMW from closing down as it kept the company in business at a time when many others were forced to close.
		The Isetta was one of the true "bubble cars" having a bubble shaped body that was made from steel and welded to a separate tubular chassis and like its 4-wheeler counterpart it used the BMW 298cc 4-stroke engine.
		The Isetta also featured a canvas sun roof, this was fitted to partially act as a means of escape should the vehicle be involved in a head on colision which obstructed the door and prevented it from opening.

		In extreme cases I picture the design as a tubular rod, to which some road wheels are attached which are steered by handlebars.” This kind of steering –; others called it a joystick – was found, for example, in the Messerschmitt “cabin scooter”;.
		To quote from a press release at the time of the launch: the engine “gives the BMW Isetta excellent acceleration, with help from the well-chosen ratios in its four-speed gearbox, which also has a claw shift and reverse gear.
		The two front wheels were mounted at each corner, 120 cm apart, whereas the two rear wheels were tucked in centrally with a track of just 52 cm, making the “darning ball”, as the diminutive car was sometimes dubbed, look like a three-wheeler.
