Classic Car Overview
This 1957 BMW Isetta 300 is a charming and highly recognizable example of one of the most iconic European microcars of the 1950s. Finished in rare green over white vinyl, it presents beautifully and retains the unmistakable character that made the Isetta a cultural symbol of postwar ingenuity.
Powered by a 298cc air-cooled single-cylinder engine producing approximately 13 horsepower, the car is paired with a 4-speed manual transmission with reverse. Despite its compact size, the Isetta offers an engaging driving experience and is capable of reaching approximately 50 mph.
This example was refurbished in the late 1990s and benefits from extensive mechanical service under prior ownership. A full mechanical inspection and professional detailing have just been completed, and the car runs and drives well.
Notable features include:
Rare green exterior finish
White vinyl upholstery
Gray sliding canvas roof
Front-opening door design
Sliding side windows
10-inch painted steel wheels with bright hubcaps
Included with the sale are owner and repair manuals, service records dating back to 2007, and a selection of spare parts.
The BMW Isetta played an important role in BMWs postwar success and remains one of the most collectible microcars of its era. Today, surviving examples continue to attract attention wherever they go whether at shows, Cars & Coffee events, or simply out for a Sunday drive.
This Isetta is ready to own, collect, show, and enjoy.
