The car's origins were in Milan. Italy at the scooter and refrigerator company of ISO SpA. run by Renzo Rivolta. Called Isetta. or "little Iso". the car was a startling. totally unconventional design that caused a furor at its introduction in Turin. Italy in November of 1953. From this influential debut. the brand was licensed to BMW of Germany. where it was viewed by BMW as filling a gap between their motorcycles and the luxury 501 models. The car was redesigned to accept the 250cc 4-stroke engine from the BMW R-25 motorcycle. The finished car was announced in April of 1955 and went into production shortly after. The quirky little "motocoupe". as it was called by BMW. became the dream of the working man and in 1957 over 22. 00 examples of the "Egg" rolled off the line. its biggest year ever.
