Description
Wonderful Isetta that's benefited from careful restoration; runs and
drives with 4-speed gearbox; sweet little thing!
Dating from January 1960, this
fantastic little Isetta 300 looks to have been fully restored and presents
beautifully, starting and running well as we moved it around for these
shots.
Finished in two-tone green and
white it looks oh-so-period with its clever side-opening front door and steering
wheel that pivots out of the way to permit access.
Under the back end
we find the 298cc single-cylinder four-stroke engine which developed 13Bhp and
18Nm of torque driving the single rear wheel via four-speed manual transmission
with reverse.
The history file includes an
old style V5 log book, many copies of Bubblemart magazine and a selection of
bills suggesting the Isetta was restored between 2017-2020 including an
engine rebuild costing some £1,700. A further £4,420 was spent in 2019 on
fitment of various parts including upholstery, the sunroof, fitment of a new
wiring harness etc, all carried out by The Bromley Bubble Company on behalf of
our vendor. There are a couple of non-specific bills for £2,000 and similar
which we are told relate to paint and bodywork too.
The file also
includes a workshop manual and some correspondence along with wiring diagrams
etc.
A lovely example that’s
clearly had time and money poured into it on offer at an appealing estimate.
Come and get me!
