Re: Remember Bubble Cars

My ex husband had an Isetta bubble car, I remember it well, it had no reverse gear and had to be pushed out of various places. He then progressed to a Bond bug. He could spend hours playing with these things.

My brother had a Heinkel, but the girlfriend objected, so he bought a Citroen ID19

Looks like it. They refurbished one on the Wheeler Dealers TV show a while back.

One of these: A neighbour had one - ugly looking thing compared to the Izzetta.

Re: Remember Bubble Cars

Just seen a short item on Saarland German TV about the BMW Isetta of which there are hundreds, and a rarity, a Peel 50 LX155VP (I think) immaculate in mid blue. At a car rally. The world's smallest car. http://www.peelengineering.com/peel-store/buy-peel
