Isetta - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


A few weeks ago, I met a middle aged German speaking couple that had two adult sons. The father owned a company that restores the Issetta. I was at his shop today (and I forgot to bring my digital camera :( ) and took these pictures with my HTC EVO - I hope y'all enjoy:












The owner showed me that some of these models can actually be "folded" to fit between tight alleyways in Europe ... they get 60 mpg and use a motorcycle engine.

Isn't that the similar car in Cars 2 movie, the villain as green little car
 
I saw lot of those when I was living in England, it's a cool car!

Pretty cool! There's a museum in nashville called Lane Vehicle Museum that has a bunch of those microcars.

Top Gear did a hilarious episode on the Peel P50 which is the smallest production car in the world:
