10 Guys 1 Isetta

Photo Credit - George Rogers

These photos were taken in 1960 in Ontario, Canada. The guys in these photos look like they're having a lot of fun, but I sure feel sorry for this poor Brighton built Isetta. It couldn't have been much more than 3 years old in these photos. For the full story and more photos visit:

British Isetta Brochures

Under license from BMW, Isetta of Great Britain began producing Isettas (the sliding-window variety) at Brighton in 1957 with selected British parts. The Isetta was initially not popular in Great Britain until a three-wheeled version was introduced. The three-wheeled version was taxed at a much lower rate than the four-wheeled version. Isetta of Great Britain continued to produce four-wheeled Isettas, but only for export to Canada, New Zealand, and Australia

I've never seen any reference to Isetta's without a clutch pedal until I came across this Smiths Selectroshift brochure. I'd be interested to know if anybody drives one of these British Selectroshift Isetta's.
