BMW Isetta 300 - An icon on wheels

The BMW Isetta is undoubtedly one of the most remarkable chapters in European automotive history. In the 1950s and early 1960s, BMW found itself in dire straits. The brand sought a compact, affordable mobility solution for post-war Europe. That solution arrived in the form of the Isetta: a microcar originally designed by the Italian company Iso, but technically developed and perfected by BMW.
The BMW Isetta 300, like this example from March 1962, was equipped with an air-cooled, single-cylinder engine from BMW's motorcycle program. With its characteristic front door, rounded body, and minimalist technology, the Isetta quickly became a symbol of efficiency and ingenuity. Between 1955 and 1962, BMW produced over 160,000 Isettas, making this model literally the brand's future. Today, the Isetta has become a highly sought-after collector's item and a crowd-pleaser at events.

A moving piece of cultural history

This BMW Isetta 300 isn't just a classic; it's a tangible piece of European mobility history. With its compact dimensions, surprisingly clever layout, and charming appearance, this car tells the story of a time when simplicity, thrift, and innovation were paramount. The Isetta was designed for the city, but it was beloved by young and old alike—and remains so today.

Condition & appearance

This example is in neat and well-maintained condition and exudes exactly what an Isetta should be: cheerful, authentic, and full of character. The Signal Rot exterior color gives the car a fresh and playful look and combines beautifully with the beige leather/cloth interior. The odometer reading of 74,299 km is in keeping with the age and character of this classic.
Remarkably, this Isetta was first registered in March 1962 and was originally registered in Denmark. The car now has a Dutch license plate, making it immediately ready for use on Dutch roads. The manual transmission provides a pure, mechanical driving experience that only classic cars can offer.
An absolute unique feature is the matching trailer in the same color, making this BMW Isetta extra rare and collectible. This detail makes it not only perfect for shows and events, but also for the true enthusiast looking for something unique.
