St. Louis Car Museum Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 1958 BMW Isetta 300 Microcar - $46,900 - St. Louis, MO Powered by original 298-cc four stroke engine that produces 13hp to the rear wheels and is paired with a 4-speed manual transmission with reverse. Features a unique Dynastart system which incorporated a compact starter and generator into one unit. A rare microcar with its iconic hinged center front door with connected steering wheel that leads to the single seat large enough for 2 and with a cargo area that also holds the spare tire. A left-hand drive with the gear shifter, choke controls, and emergency brake all located on the left side for easy access. The sunroof can be retracted and provides a more spacious, convertible-like feel when out on the road on summer days! And the Isetta's easy sliding windows provide some fresh air in the cabin, and a heater/defrost system allow for cooler weather enjoyment as well. This Isetta was refinished in a period correct Red and White color combination with a two-tone red and black vinyl interior. Featuring a black cloth sunroof, heater, windshield defroster, 10” steel wheels with chrome hubcaps wrapped in BF Goodrich Silvertown tires. Since its arrival at our museum, we have replaced the battery, rubber shift boot, upper & lower engine mounts and changed the engine oil, transmission fluid, and chain case oil. One of only 3,925 U.S. models produced for 1958 and we are very pleased to showcase this BMW Isetta 300 that is sure to be the star of any show and grab attention anytime it is out.
