Current customer rating: (358 votes ) based onIn 1954. Velam acquired a licence from Iso to manufacture a car
based on the Isetta. Since Iso had sold the body making equipment
to BMW. Velam developed their own body but used the original Iso
engine. The Velam body was rounder and more egg-like than Iso's
Isetta and was known by the French as the 'yoghurt pot'. Instead of
a chassis like the Italian and German versions. there was a
sub-frame bolted to the body at the rear which held the rear tyres. br/>engine and transmission. The front suspension was bolted to the
front of the body. The front door was opened by a push button
instead of a handle and the speedometer was mounted in the centre
of the steering wheel. Velam started production of the car in 1955
at the Old Talbot Factory at Suresnes. France and the car was
introduced at the 1955 Paris Car Show.
This Isetta Velam is an unfinished project although the body
appears to be in sound condition and everything seems to be present
in order to finish the car off. The engine is in place and the
parts not currently fitted will be supplied with the car. Isetta
Velams are very rare with only 7. 15 manufactured from June 1955
through to January 1958. It is not known how many have survived and
they come up for sale very infrequently. A great opportunity to
acquire a micro-car that will create even more interest than usual.
