1957 BMW Isetta 300

The vintage vehicle at hand is a classic 1957 BMW Isetta 300, manufactured in West Germany five years before the establishment of the modern BMW AG. It's instantly recognizable for its distinctive egg-like shape and single front door that doubles as the hood. This compact car, measuring merely 2.28 meters long and standing just over a meter tall, was designed by Italian engineer Renzo Rivolta initially for Iso Automotive SpA under the name Iso Isetta before BMW acquired the design rights in 1955. The model's year speaks to its rich automotive history, situated as it is at the dawn of modern motoring.
