Hi Bob,cracking site and pics, I dont think I would get away with any parts on the dining room table though. I came accross a three wheel chassis and loads of parts ealier this year, I intend to restore them to a running condition and have started with stripping the chassis and cleaning up the suspention parts. I will try and live up to your standards but I am not sure that I am that good take care, Ray Glendinning, West Yorkshire. |

Likely a dumb question, but I figure I better ask. I just purchased a 1957 Isetta and do not know whether to provide leaded or unleaded fuel. The filler neck does not give the answer.
Thank you. |

Hi Jeff Wareing,
Are you into BMWs now, no more Alfa Romeos?
Have you changed your email address? All my mails to you are returned from DWS.
Still got my blue Giulia Nuova and Yellow 1750 Berlina.
Regards
Malcolm

Driving between our two homes, we always stop by the Bantam Chef in Chesnee, SC for a good meal. The restaurant's "50's museum" includes an actual Isetta. This area is near where Isettas were built (and saved the BMW company). I found photos at this website:

Great site! Thank you for your contribution to the Isetta world! I'm a new Isetta 600 owner and will be performing a frame-off restoration on my own. I'm sure you'll be hearing from me as I go, and I'll be starting a blog too. Watch out for it! |

Hi Bob- I just brought home a '57 300 SW project car that I was inspired to restore in part because of your fine website. I've visited frequently, studied all of your restoration photos and read the journal. Your car looks super nice and I hope to bring mine back to the same level. Thanks for making this site available. Cheers, -Rob in Bend. |

Beautiful Restoration!! I especially like your color choice. I was originally wanting to do an olive green and cream combo for my restoration, but recently I've been leaning towards a brown and cream combo with a vintage volkswagon plaid for the upholstery. You've done a fantastic job documenting your restoration. Your website has been an inspiration and a valuable resource. |

Car is coming along well Bob, primer is looking good and the fenders look much better now than before. I cant believe you got all those dents out on the sides so that it looks that smooth.
Now that you are into BMWs, I have some e30 parts that need some painting attention.... |

I to have had extremely unsatisfactory service from ITALLIAN METALS. He sells a lot of products for Isettas that do not fit/poor quality/and a rip off.he will not retun e-mails etc. Do not do businss with him.
I am in the final stages of restoration of a 1958 sliding window 300. You should be very proud of your web site; It is great. |

This has to be the best personal project car website ive seen. Great work, not only is it detailed in every step but you have took the time to take so many pictures for others that may follow. I was not even into Isetta's but its from sites like this that has my interest growing fast. Well done to you and your wife!! best regards, JM |
