This 1960 BMW Isetta 600 is a restored example that was previously part of a museum collection from 1998-2015. The current owner acquired the car at auction in 2015 and has maintained it as part of his collection since. The exterior has been fully repainted, and the interior is trimmed in red cloth with white vinyl uppers and interior panels. The car is powered by a numbers-matching 582cc flat-twin sending power to the rear wheels via a 4-speed manual transmission. This Isetta is now offered on behalf of the current owner with its original California black license plates and a clean Nevada title.

The car is finished in red with a white roof, and the paintwork is said to shine well, and be high quality, consistent with the car’s history with a museum collection. Some paint bubbles are pictured in the paintwork, which are approximately the size of pencil erasers, and do not show any chipping or flaking. The car retains stock lighting, reflectors, and BMW emblems.

The Isetta 600 features a conventional side-door in addition to the traditional front-hinged door. The 10″ steel wheels are fitted with Dunlop tires that carry 2014 date codes. The car retains stock US market tubular overriders front and rear.

The steering wheel swings away with the dash and front door on a universal-jointed column. The seller describes some cracking on the upper dash. The floors are covered with black rubber mats. The instrument panel includes a speedometer and odometer, which has been reset and shows 149 miles since the restoration was completed.

A stain is visible on the front seatback, and the car is equipped with a set of red lapbelts. Per the seller, the stain is more visible in photos than in person. The headliner is trimmed in red cloth, and the lower interior panels are upholstered in white vinyl.

The 582cc air-cooled flat-twin sends power to the rear wheels via a 4-speed manual transmission. The chassis number is stamped on the engine case, and corresponds to the body tag on the right side of the engine bay. The car has been continually maintained, previously as part of a museum collection and later as part of the current owner’s collection. The most recent service included a basic tune-up and fresh fluids.

Underbody surfaces are finished in black, and photos are provided showing the floors, suspension components, and pedal linkages.
