Isetta & Co.

The BMW Isetta, often affectionately known in Germany as the "Knutschkugel", was the small car of the economic miracle. A whole series of small cars and cabin scooters were built based on this model at home and abroad, and they have lost none of their fascination over the years.
This beautiful little gift book traces the Isetta phenomenon (BMW Motocoupé and 600) in atmospheric images and exciting facts. A cult book about a cult car with cult-like features.

Isetta - Ein Auto bewegt die Welt

The BMW Isetta is still a real hit today and was the best-selling car model from Bavaria until the 1960s. Isetta specialist Manfred Seehusen and vehicle journalist Andy Schwietzer use archives carefully collected over the years to show the entire history of the Isetta, which began at ISO in Bresso near Milan and did not end in Brazil. Isetta licensed models in England and France are also presented in detail.

In addition to excerpts from BMW archives that have never been published before, there are interesting chapters on the "relatives", the two-wheelers from ISO and the engine of the 250 cc BMW motorcycles. All color and equipment variants of the small BMW scooter mobiles are listed in detail, so that not only vehicle historians, but also restorers and buyers have exciting entertainment and professional benefit.
