6219_Rules Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6219_Rules Posted March 11, 2007 Author Share Posted March 11, 2007 AWWWW Yeah a Messerschmidt. That is adorable. And in New Hope, no less... I used to hang out there and at the flea market outside New Hope way back in the 1970s. Great cars... and great memories. <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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:http://www.microcar.org/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveBerg Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 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="" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
