I am offering this beautifully restored 1957 Isetta 300 for sale. I acquired it a couple of years ago and made some major improvements to it. rebuilt engine and transmission.  The engine and transmission were rebuilt from Isettas R Us in Georgia and installed by a local BMW dealer.  Cosmetic restoration was completed some 4-5 years ago by the previous owner along with factory style rubber that looks great.  The steering wheel and column look great although the speedometer bezel is slightly pitted.  
This is a rust-free car.  The body and floors are in great condition.  The body is very straight down the sides.  The paint is not concourse quality but a very high grade driver.  There are a few tiny places that the paint was chipped and touched up.  At the front edge of the left front fender. a few tiny bubbles are visible.  The front and rear bumpers. nurf bars. and the hubcaps look like new.  Some of the misc. trim including the headlight housing was scratched and touched up but needs to be painted. I am not an Isetta expert. but am told the side glass still have the Sekurit etching on them and appear to be original.  The front and rear windshield may have been changed in the past.  All windshield seals. weatherstripping. and gaskets are like new.  The most important part is the area on the body where the front door closes still retain the factory pinch welds.  The optional gravel shields are missing but there are some small pre-drilled holes are there.  The car rides smooth on a set of 4. 8-10 BF Goodrich Silvertown wide whitewalls tires.
INTERIOR
The seat covers. side panels. and the sliding roof are in excellent condition.  
Mechanicals
The newly rebuilt engine and transmission have less than 50 miles on the rebuild.  Therefore. the shifting is stiff and needs some driving to smooth out the first and second gear shifts.  The gas shut-off valve is located behind the carburetor and is convenient to turn the gas on.
This is a sliding window model with the 298 cc single cylinder engine. overhead valves. air cooled. 13 HP @5200 rpm.  It has a Bing carburetor. (needs new gaskets).  The muffler should be replaced as it leaks some.
