Right now, BMW is the king of the luxury automotive world. They’ve got the best sales and their rivals are struggling to overtake them. But things were different in the 19050’s, when the company was almost bankrupt. That’s when they turned to making cheaper models.
No, we’re not talking about the predecessor of the 1-Series, rather a car that has no modern equivalent. We are talking about the famous Isetta bubble car. It’s among the smallest creatures on the road, but an incredible 161,000 of them were built over the years.
This one is a 1957 Isetta 300, equipped with a single-cylinder 298cc engine. It’s currently for sale on eBay by a private owner in Fairfax, Virginia. 16 bids have been placed on it so far, with the top one currently being $15,100. That might seem like a lot, but we wouldn’t be surprised to see it reach $20,000 given its condition.
