Finished in black over a beautiful two-tone red and white interior, this particular Isetta 600 presents more dramatically and spectacularly than any other Isetta we have seen or driven. We have owned some of the greatest sports cars to every be produced, and without question this little BMW has received as much if not more attention by general onlookers. An outing never goes unnoticed in this car and you can also count on a few thumbs up and waves along the way. The car is cosmetically stunning. The black finish is deep and lustrous and nearly flawless, with an incredibly straight body and excellent panel fit. We have had the bright work refinished and the aluminum trim polished. The correct hubs on each wheel are new. Much of the cars rubber and seals have been replaced with correct material. It is an absolutely gorgeous and original example. The interior offers a beautiful contrast to the cars exquisite exterior detailing. The seats are in excellent shape, free of creasing, tears, cracking, discoloration, etc. The dash and interior spare wheel cover are perfect. The headliner is in great shape and the carpets present nicely. The engine and transmission were completely removed from the car and the engine compartment was detailed. Having been a Southern California car for nearly all its life under the care of only two owners from the same family, the underside is completely solid and correct. Our in-house German Master mechanic, who has worked on many Isetta’s over the years, has extensively serviced the car. His most recent repairs include a full braking system overhaul (slave cylinder, master cylinder, pads, etc.), a new clutch, replacement of the transmission input shaft, new battery, removal of the gas tank and servicing to the fuel systems, and overall tuning. The car was properly set up for storage prior to our acquisition of the car, and we have since put it back into strong running order. It’s original 582 cc twin engine puts out more power than the 300 Isetta, giving the 600 a slight edge in performance and future appreciation in value. This is an opportunity as a proud collector or passionate enthusiast to own one of the most sought after and successful micro cars produced in the post-war era. Pricing will continue to skyrocket on these incredibly collectible cars and this example in its brilliant color scheme and finishing’s will stand out above the rest. Thank you for your consideration. We want this car to go to a great home, so please feel free to email me or give us a call at (805) 202-4557.Thanks for your interest. GOODMAN REED MOTORCARS.

I’ve always had an appreciation for classic cars and have always bought and sold them to create a kind of very small revolving personal collection, which, up until this posting, has contained the BMW 600 you’re currently looking at. I try to give accurate descriptions of the cars I’m selling, but I’m not an expert and I encourage and am happy to help facilitate personal or professional inspections. But please do so before bidding, as the alternative harms my ability to make sales with other interested parties who have done their proper due diligence before bidding.For U.S. buyers a 10% non-refundable deposit is required within 3 days of the auction's end, the balance to be paid within 7 days of the auction's end. Foreign buyers must pay in full within 7 business days of auction’s end. Buyer is responsible for shipping, however I'd be more than happy to help with recommendations and arrangements. The car is listed locally and I reserve the right to end the auction at any time should it sell prior to auction's end. Thanks for your interest.
