This rare, no-reserve find is a 1957 BMW Isetta 300 hailing from Twinsburg, Ohio. One glance at its distinctive egg-like shape with a single, central front door and narrow windshield immediately sets it apart from other vintage vehicles. This three-wheeled microcar, the brainchild of Italian engineer Renzo Rivolta, embodies 1950s automotive compactness and ingenuity, featuring a rear-mounted, 247 cc lone-cylinder engine generating approximately 9.6 horsepower. Despite its small size, it offered surprising space inside for two occupants, with their luggage nestled behind. This particular model is the third-generation version of the Isetta, produced after BMW's acquisition of ISO Rivalta in 1960.
