When I was in high school in 1963, one of my friends had an Isetta 300. He was able to get into the hall ways of the school and drive it to one of his classrooms. He was suspended for 3 days after he agreed to sell the car. He was also grounded for a month (but his dad thought is was hilarious). I rode in it ONCE and never again.

RITE??? I was hoping they were going to talk more about that. This seems like a rarer version of the Isetta. What is the gas mileage like with 2+ people in the car? How hard was it to drive? How would daily driving be with that vehicle? Could it handle cold climates like Michigan or Illinois?

@TheWinjin Год назад

@@ramadjones it seems like there's no climate at all in it, but I guess there must be something, Jo Klug up there talks about his grandparents riding it in the alps, it would be extremely uncomfortable to use below like 18 Celsius if it didn't have even rudimentary heater.

But they always found good parking spots in the cities they visited. 😅

@the_irish_captain7567 Год назад

There is one of these, albeit one of the smaller ones, in my town of Traverse City, MI where the current owner restored it. The current owner is a relative of a person that was pivotal in jumpstarting the automotive program we have at my local community college and that person was the original owner of this particular Isetta. Every summer, typically a week before school starts we have a car show that raises funds strictly for the automotive program. This car show is a memorial car show named in that person's honor (who originally had the Isetta), after they passed away. This person was so influential in making sure that there was an education program for automotive repair in Traverse City..

@matt_acton-varian Год назад

Fun fact: Up until the 60s the UK had a law that classed 3 wheeled vehicles as motorcycles. Up until the 50s cars and their associated costs (tax, insurance etc) were kept prohibitively expensive for the working classes. Owning a car was seen as a wealth status item. Due to the law mentioned above, Three wheeled vehicles like the smaller Isetta were not classed as cars and were taxed as motorcycles, making them affordable vehicles for the masses for the first time.

I was told by my Grandfather and my Father too that if I ever bought a BMW they would come back from the dead and haunt me. My Grandfather served in WWII and was involved in the liberating of Various camps and my dad did some tours in Vietnam. I ended up serving for 30 years too, but I guess I get it. I mean BMW made engines for Germany and was very involved with the Nazi Regime so it was a product that was banned for me. There are others too but I won't say the names to be fair. So every time I see a BMW I think of the atrocities my grandfather described in the horrors he witnessed during that time. I know we should forgive but in this case I get it. I won't touch anything from the Middle east. Just how it is. The enemy is always going to be the enemy in some places. Never the less great video from you guys again. I enjoy all you make.
