In looking at all the various bikes , builds and motor bikes I thought this may be of interest to my fellow Rat Rodders
This is an Isetta Monocoup made by BMW , who made not only cars but Scooters , Airplanes and Bicycles as well
The Isetta was made in both 4 wheel and 3 wheel versions (3 wheel versions were made so they could be assigned motorbike classification for cheap insurance rates)
The car has no doors on it The front of the vehicle was the "door" which opened and the wheel pivoted forward so the rider could get out , there was also a sliding canvas roof on top that could be opened on nice days
The First Body Style mfg was a Bubble Window Version with curved Bubble Glass which is the one I am listing which is somewhat scarcer than the 2nd type made which was a sliding window version (Urkel used this type of Isetta on his TV show)
What I am listing is an almost complete Bubble Isetta minus the drive train so it is perfect for a rat rodder to restore , modify or make a unique build from it , I have seen people put everything in these from v8s to corvair air cooled motors , solar , motorcycle , and even electric pwd
These are cool little vehicles and I would consider offers on it if anyone is interested as I already have a few projects to do and would like to see it go to a good home instead of sitting in storage , if anyone decides they would like to buy it , it can be picked up in long island NY
