Offered here is a 1961 BMW Isetta 300 Export, finished in Light Turquoise and presented in completely original condition throughout. Unlike a restored car, this example has simply survived, and survived well: the bodywork and interior are both in excellent order, and nothing has been reinvented in the name of presentation. It shows 85,500 km. The car holds ASI Targa d'Oro certification, the highest recognition awarded by the Automotoclub Storico Italiano and one reserved for vehicles judged both historically significant and exceptionally well preserved in their original specification. It is an assessment made by inspection rather than paperwork, and it confirms in writing what the car communicates on sight. Mechanically, the Isetta is an exercise in doing more with less. A single-cylinder four-stroke engine of 298cc produces 12 CV, driving the rear wheels through a three-speed manual gearbox. With a kerb weight of just 380 kg and an overall length of 2.29 metres, the result is a car that asks almost nothing of the road beneath it and rewards the driver with an immediacy that no modern vehicle can replicate. There is no insulation between you and the mechanism, and that is entirely the point. The defining feature remains the single front-opening door, hinged at the side and carrying the steering column with it as it swings. It is an idea no manufacturer would sanction today, and it gives the Isetta a character that has outlived every practical argument ever made against it. Two occupants sit side by side behind a panoramic windscreen, with visibility that makes the car feel considerably larger from the inside than it appears from without. The Isetta arrived in Italy as a Iso design and left Germany as a BMW, and it carried a continent through the years when mobility mattered more than specification. Hundreds of thousands were built, most were used until they were finished, and very few now remain in the condition this one occupies. Its survival in original Light Turquoise, with matching originality inside, is what separates it from the many examples that have been restored into anonymity. For the collector, the Isetta occupies a category entirely of its own: immediately recognisable, historically important, and genuinely usable in a way that few cars of its era are. Whether displayed, driven on club events, or kept simply for the pleasure of owning something this singular, this 1961 Isetta 300 Export stands among the best preserved of its kind.
