Just multiply your speedo number by 6 and take off the last digit. That will get you very close to your speed. 40 kph x 6 = 240, take off the 0, = 24 mph!
When I was a little boy, I had a metal model of the Isetta. The front door was open, and I recall wondering how the steering reconnected after opening the door. I thought it was one of the coolest cars I had seen! Great video, cool cars!
My Dad worked with a guy that had a collection of odd cars. About 50 years ago we were around Grants Pass Oregon on vacation and saw a farmer that had about 50 Isetta's in his yard. My Dad's buddy drove up from L.A. to see them but the farmer would not sell a one. I just learned recently that some Isetta's were made in England.
I had a '57 Isetta 300 as my first car. To me it represented freedom. And of course now (at 68 y.o.) I can tell everyone that my first car (at 15 y.o.) was a BMW!
I had a red/white 58 in excellent condition (Needed a paint job like your's does but no rust). I restored the interior correctly...the gray cardboard panels are what they use now in semi trailers for the walls...cheap and actually correct (Easy to do). Replaced the sunroof which is a chore. Had the engine professionally restored by an IndyCar chief engine tech. Had the wheels sandblasted and repainted correct color and got new tires which are available. Then found a 57 bubble window which I was starting to go to work on but my wife walked out on me and took both of them. I took her to court and she did pay dearly...to the tune of $25,000. It was fun while it lasted. Clean that oil slinger regularly or it will die!
Lol. All this time didn't know my isetta had a reserve. I thought all the way to the right was off. Oopps. Well at least I know if I run out of gas it has a reserve now. Thanks
when I first moved to Germany in 1960 my dad was an army officer and we stayed in a small town in a downstairs apartment of a doctor's house... he drove one of these... my father came home in a Renault Dauphin... I was 7... from the 57 Dodge stationwagon with wings and chrome to.. these type cars... my uncle Paul picked us up in Wiesbaden in a 59 VW with a porthole rear window.. dad in front.. Mom, sister and self in the back with luggage.. all of it...;;☆》... that's what did the trick... the sound and fury of a 36 horse VW engine.. redlining
Mark, you could paint the package tray and you have to do something about the seat upholstery, it looks worn. You could have many cool options with a cloth or pattern.
My motorcycle weighs as much as that Isetta. Wonderful little cars. I would love to have one with a Hayabusa engine. Hunting dogs have one track minds. Our local dog park is on the Puget Sound and sometimes those mutts swim so far out you don't think that any of them will make it back...but the always do.
Do you have any tips on restoring an Isetta? A restored one is too pricey so a restoration might be my only option. How could I approach something like this? Should I start with a shell or a full (but rusty) car? Thanks!
Eh, global warming doesn't really cause warmer or colder days directly. The influence is much more subtle on anything but a macro scale. That aside, I love your car collection.
Sorry to say, you are still a bit unfocused and all over the place, Sir .But having noticed that with your Messerschmitt-procedure, I'm getting used to it and I view it like a theatre play in three acts with a happy ending.
She’s a good dog. Reminds me of my springer. Won’t move until I tell her to
My beagle was more obedient lol
I thought you meant the car

@Lil MINI they sure are fun !
or you could just divide 40 kph by 1.609, and you will get 24.8 mph ;)
@@Owiko7 that's just komplikated. 😉😉hehe
It was funny damnit
Bobin tucson - I tend to work on 80km = ~50mi
So 40km = ~25mi
120km = ~75mi
etc
6 X 4 is easier
That's my old neighborhood! I miss Portland.
It was a blast taking a drive with you two on such a beautiful day.
Yes thanks!

Some were British built yes, quite different than the German Isetta . Spain and Argentina built some as well, each very different
Weren't they made in Italy?
You have the coolest little cars . hope they get better gas mileage than the rm 250 i had as a kid. You can tell that pup is ready to hunt.
You have cool neighbors who care about you guys to let you know that there was a "fire" pretty nice neighborhood that you live in 👌
Like most of your videos this was good fun, many thanks for sharing it.
He's like every other BMW driver, always driving with one hand on the steering wheel
You must get some strange looks driving this little fella in the US, a country known for huge cars.. great video 👍

Ha. Now you know.
Thanks for taking us on an adventure with Stella!
I've a detailed tin metal toy Isetta from when I was a kid. I took care of my toys in my youth. Red and white.
yes !
The Subaru sounded like my old Citroen 2cv. It brought back memories of the art of getting an engine started and running
I want that car! Among other things, I can tell people I own a BMW!
Looked like a 51 Chevy Truck at the stop sign :)
I had one of those.

6:20 Toyota Previa on the left there! :D
lol
You have few very nice cars, congratulations!
im in love with these things now, thanks to your channel
Great, its not hard to do
Looks like a cherry! 🍒 🚘 😱
Awesome dog ! She's a sweety !
I would love to have a car like this one. Or any other small car that you own. But if someone hit me I'm dead. XD
I wish I was driving mine, hopefully the resto will be finished soon. Nice to go for a ride with you, it's been a couple of years since I drive mine.
Mark, you could paint the package tray and you have to do something about the seat upholstery, it looks worn. You could have many cool options with a cloth or pattern.
Just ran across your channel an hour or so ago and Insta-subbed :)

Lovely sound❤
Part of me wants to hear it chirping like an old beetle
I find it so cool someone owns these cars in my city
Gonna need some body work this spring.
Very nice much envy
Your weather Reminds me of the Chinook in Calgary. One day it's 20F below the next day 55.
I would never own much less pay for anything from a company that built that , ENOUGH SAID.
I just seen urkel on family matters last nite ..Carl was teaching him how to drive the Isetta which didn't turn out well
Nice tiny isetta
8:12 dogs like running around a park! And sometimes chase Any rabbits and squirrels
Steve Urkel's car on Family Matters He said his uncle paid him 50.00 to haul it away.
Might want to fix the left side before it's rusts through
This is the area I live in.
Do you have any tips on restoring an Isetta? A restored one is too pricey so a restoration might be my only option. How could I approach something like this? Should I start with a shell or a full (but rusty) car? Thanks!
its actually cheaper to buy one already restored
2stroketurbo I've just checked and now I know what you mean, US cars are much cheaper! Importing might be a good idea!
I'm all about originality but that isetta needs new tires:)
I totally agree. I actually bought some but now I'm craving white walls
@@2stroketurbo they make those fake white wall rings that go between the rim and the tire. They are pretty convincing.
My 82 240D may be slow, but it will blow the door off this Isetta.
Blow. The door. The door.
Bahahaha I get it
I want a 2 stroke Subaru (or was it Sabaru back then) to go to a Sierra Club meeting...
I want an isetta that with a speedo that measures mph 😐 I'll try to drive that in the harsh winters up here
I rode in one of those.
Very cute, these little toy cars. Just do NOT run it into something. A front-end collision will be the end of everything, including the driver.
Is it the 2 stroke or 4 stroke one
I want one of those car but the 600 but the bad thing is its expensive and I cant get one
were do you find this things i have bin looking for a micro car for a little bit
that thing ounds like my kart with a predator 212
or maby a 301?
idk it probably is more similar to a flathead though
Aren't you supposed to put the fuel valve on reserved when it's parked?
Since Kaye Whitnah died and Marilyn F retired, who sells Isetta Parts?
Werner at Isettas R Us
Eh, global warming doesn't really cause warmer or colder days directly. The influence is much more subtle on anything but a macro scale. That aside, I love your car collection.
Please get a Peel P 50
Does Isetta have air condition?
What scooter is that?
I wasn't talking about the BMW
Plot twist: He doesn't own any of these micro cars, he stole them, at the end the rightful owner tries to reclaim these vehicles.
*joke*
I need a job
they like to mark the spot like a dog.
Ok, i mean why not.
I'm wondering if you have a Peel P50.
Nope
You aren't him so how do you know?
Xavier Guinea uhh probably because he would have a video of it and it would be seen in the garage.....
I love your videos. Do you wear your camera on your forehead or what?
He holds his phone (?) with his hands and eventually swaps the hands, you can see it with the reflection
Sure is different to a 7 series.
How do you manage to get your slimy hands on these artefacts?
my mom used to own an isetta 600 until people cam by and vandalyzed it and smashed the whole car
@Steve Ala ik... Was a sad day for the isetta. I still miss when she drove me to school with it
@@NakiriX1 surprised you both fit in there
@@tyson8254 i was 5 at that time. And my mum is 155cm back then and still is
60 km/h = 37 mi/h.
JUST SUBLIME
Steve Urkel's car! BMW Issetta
"What do you do, get in it? Or put it on!! " Said Carl.

I bought it and made it a s1
U might not need a car if u have sticky notes on it
Is that a shock collar on your dog?
I think it is. Kind of scummy if it is.
🤔 #disarray #unorganized
Engine swap
How old are an u own a scooter
Nice car ! At least you didn't run into any antifa on your drive!
It looks in very bad state !!!!!!
Can’t watch any more with sticky notes I own 12 cars no notes
why have i seen a few comments about the sticky notes? what’s so bad about that

Dogs dont care
you have too much time in your life do you
if you didn't have time to do anything you love then what would be the purpose of living?
Respectfully, the vehicle is orange not red. I have a nice day.😊
