Is there an Isetta interest group here?

I have a fascination with the little Isetta, whether the BMW version, or Italien, and I want to know what the availablility and price ranges on this car. Also just to talk about them. I have fond memories of the Isetta, Messerschmitt and VWs from living in Vienna in 1960. In fact, we brought home a little black VW in 1961.

Hope to hear from someone soon!

There used to be an active national Microcar club, and I think a lot, or at least some, of the prime movers used to be here in the Northeast--say, New Jersey, or so, I think? Anyway, I think they eventually dissolved, but a new organization appears to have risen from the ashes also(?), as I found with a quick google:

Isettas are pretty easily obtainable. Ebay often has several available. Prices range from several hundred dollars for parts cars, to a few thousand for projects, 7000 - 10000 seems to buy drivers and 12,500 - 20,000 for show cars. Messershmitt's are quite a bit more in most cases. I have a 1958 Isetta 300 that i bought about 15 years ago in the 3500 range. It ran ok but not great. It was though the best percentage deal winner in my garage. Then I decided I wanted to make it a really good driver so I gave it to a couple of local fellows in the restoration business. $5000+ later it was done. It ran around the block and up into the trailer and has never run since. Now its the worst percentage deal in my garage! Anyone know a good Isetta mechanic in the Western Pa. area ! <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />
