Bubble car!

I posted pics of my Swiss Imholz bike project, but this was an aside to my main project, a 1956 BMW Isetta 300.

Here are some photos...

A bit of engine adjustment...Before...

Re:

Looking good had a few models of micro cars over the years, that colour is nice and the engine build looks mint my biggest regret due to a young family 20 years ago I let go 2x blue BMW 600s enough to make one car they went to holland and as part of the deal I got a BMW 700 I used to phone a different main dealer for mot and watch their face when they thought they were doing a 7 series
Think I still have books and repair books ect to be honest I don't think I will need them so when we have finished decorating and get the house back to normal if I let you no postage costs have them when your done pass them on as good to keep any micro car on the road.
Good luck with the build.

Re:

The colour is Reseda Green. I am still running in the engine so keeping the top speed down to 38 mph, which seems fast enough anyway! Been faster on my bike

When you have time to look out the books I would be really interested to see them. I have a friend here in Portugal who has a blue 600, I will dig out a photo of it and post it here for you.

Three or four wheel?

Re:

It is one of the German built bubble which all had four wheels, the ones built in Brighton nearly all had three wheels so that it could pay lower road tax, I believe the original italian ISO had three wheels but was considered to be a bit unstable
