1958 BMW Isetta 300

This 1958 BMW 300 purportedly underwent a three-year refurbishment under prior ownership, which was completed in June 2003 and included a repaint in light blue with white accents. The seller acquired the car in 2010 and had the Dynastart rebuilt in 2021. Power is from a 298cc single-cylinder engine paired with a four-speed manual gearbox, and features include a gray folding canvas roof, 10″ steel wheels, a driver-side mirror, sliding side windows, storage pockets, a horn button, and a rear parcel shelf. This Isetta is now offered with a clean California title in the seller’s spouse’s name.

This Isetta has been refinished in light blue with a white top and forward hatch, and it features a gray folding canvas roof, sliding side windows, and a driver-side mirror. The seller notes that the car has European-specification bumpers, headlights, and taillights.

The 10″ steel wheels up front wear chrome hubcaps and are mounted with older 5.00″ F.U.N.S.A. Transporte tires. The Isetta features a coil-spring suspension up front and leaf springs out back, and stopping power is provided by hydraulically actuated drum brakes.

The cabin is accessed through a front-opening, side-hinged door and features a front bench seat trimmed in gray and dark gray vinyl as well as storage pockets, a horn button, and a rear parcel shelf.

The steering wheel is mounted on a hinged column and frames a dash pod with a reverse-sweep 80-km/h speedometer as well as a shifter on the left. The five-digit odometer shows 1 kilometer and is inoperative. Fewer than 150 kilometers (~100 miles) were added under current ownership. Total mileage is unknown.

The air-cooled 298cc single is accessed via a panel on the right side of the car and was factory rated at 13 horsepower. The Dynastart was rebuilt in 2022, and the oil has been changed annually under current ownership.

Power is routed to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual gearbox.
