During the refurbishment, the body was removed from the frame, taken down to the bare metal, and repainted in red and white. Stainless steel bumpers were installed and the door hinge, door lock, and gray fabric sunroof were replaced during current ownership. Additional details include side-mounted headlights, sliding side windows, a front wiper, and “Isetta 300” badging.
White-painted steel wheels wear BMW covers and are mounted with BFGoodrich Silvertown wide-whitewall tires. The Isetta’s suspension consists of front coil and rear leaf springs with shocks all around. Stopping power is provided by four-wheel drum brakes. Work under current ownership is said to have included replacing the master brake cylinder and lines along with the wheel cylinders and parking brake components.
The cabin is accessed through a front-opening side-hinged door and features a bench seat that was reupholstered in black vinyl. The seller states the floor pan was replaced during the refurbishment.
The three-spoke steering wheel features an aftermarket horn button and frames a 60-mph VDO speedometer. The five-digit odometer shows 25k miles, approximately 500 of which were added under current ownership. Total mileage is unknown. Corrosion is visible on the instrument binnacle.
The 298cc air-cooled single-cylinder engine is said to have been disassembled and cleaned prior to the installation of replacement seals and a stainless-steel fuel tank. Factory-rated output was 13 horsepower and 14 lb-ft of torque.
Power is sent to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission. Work under current ownership reportedly included replacing the clutch cable as well as the transmission and rear axle bearings and seals. The seller notes the presence of noise from the clutch at take-off when the vehicle is cold.
