42-Years-Owned 1958 BMW Isetta 300 Project

The distinctive 1958 BMW Isetta 300 on offer is a remarkable time capsule, owned by its seller for over four decades. This unique microcar, manufactured in Germany's preeminent automotive era of the '50s, stands out with its innovative design; it features a single front door that opens to reveal the driver, passenger, and entire engine block. originally sold in Illinois before being relocated to Milwaukee, this Isetta showcases meticulous restoration efforts undertaken between 1984 and 1986 by the seller themselves. Amongst the comprehensive work done was a full repainting of the body and wheels, replacement of window felts, replating of chrome trim, retriming of the interior, and overhauling of brakes - all contributing to its remarkable time warp condition today. Now residing in Oostburg, Wisconsin, this rare German automotive gem awaits its next steward who can appreciate its original charm and historical significance as a pioneer of compact vehicle design.
