30-Years-Owned 1959 BMW Isetta 600

A unique 1959 BMW Isetta 600, owned for three decades in Rancho Cordova, California. This classic microcar is instantly recognizable by its distinctive bubble shape and front-hinged door, offering seating for two with a single rear-facing seat for one. Manufactured as a fuel-efficient vehicle, the Isetta 600 features a 582cc rear-mounted twin-cylinder engine, producing around 13 horsepower. Its distinctive characteristic is its novel design, which was BMW's first post-war automobile and only mass-produced vehicle to not utilize reverse gears, instead featuring a ' Variant A' model with a two-speed fully-synchronous transmission with reverse gear or 'Variant B' with a single-speed self-changing mechanism. Notably, the odometer presently stands at approximately 100,000 miles driven over its six decades.
