So you just saw a BMW Isetta on eBay that was “restored to factory
specs” and you can’t wait to get your hands on one of these cute little cars
you remember from the 1950’s. Well hold on for a minute. You need to use
caution in buying one of these cars. Could the seller be someone who has a
really nice car at a fair price or could the car be a collection of broken
or damaged parts they have assembled into an OK looking car that will not
run and is unsafe to drive? Asking the right questions up front and having a
little information can save you from expensive problems and disappointment.
I purchased a 1956 BMW Isetta on eBay and have spent the last 3+ years
restoring the car. You would not imagine how much work and yet how much fun
it can be to restore a car that is only 8 feet long! I would not claim to be
an “expert” on the Isetta and will supply you with the locations on the
Internet and from print resources later on where you can get advice from
experts on Isettas. Over the past 3 years I have learned an incredible
amount of information about the cars and can give you some advice about
purchasing one of these unique cars on eBay. More BMW Info
