Bubble

Very original with patina showing an age similar to my own and complete with it's very own, very cute and very patient guard dog (no sophisticated electronic alarm systems on this baby).

Isetta 300 1950's micro car with a 298cc single cylinder four stroke producing around 13 HP, seating for two, this fine example even has a sun roof.

Born in an age of post war austerity and fuel shortages it was a great design providing affordable transport with weather protection.

The iconic opening front door, where the steering wheel hinged out of the way to allow the driver access was a great innovation, one slight downside was having no reverse gear if it was parked too close front on it was extremely difficult to get out, maybe that's why this one had the sunroof.
