Awesome Red BMW Isetta finished April 21 09 006

After 9 years of off & on work I finally finished my 1957 BMW Isetta 300. It was dark green when I bought it in Ness City, KS but had originally been red so I had it repainted back to red. After rebuliding the carb 3 times I got it running great. It will be in a car show & parade in Benton,Kansas April 25 ,2009.

Great job - I am in the 6th year (OMG) of a joint on & off restoration. We hope to have it in he paint shop in the next 2 to 3 weeks. I hope it is a good as your paint job - it is excellent! We bought it in parts and very rusty. We have tracked down nearly all the parts we were missing :-/ It is a 3 Wheel Right hand drive 1962 Brighton Built Isetta (the Plus model). Will post it on YouTube when complete.

Nice job. Did you replace the mismatched one piece wheel on it now?

[aerocar]

@isettajohn You have a sharp eye. Yes, I have replaced the one pieced wheel with the correct split rim.

@jameskmar Thanks - she's painted now and looks great. Got a few problems with the brake and wheel bearing to sort out plus a new interior! Expect to be on the road in Spring.  That was some bad luck with you car! At todays price one Gallon of Gas/Petrol is $9.81 USD over here in North West England.

@RitmoNo1 Great job of restoring! I had one in 1960 and it was a blast to drive! The only thing is it is low to the ground and I knocked the oil pan loose and without a oil gauge I ran out of oil and ruined the motor! It ran 50 to 60 MPH and Gas was 60 to 80 MPG! Wish I had it now with gas as high as it is!!!
