- A SUPER-COMPACT CAR THAT REPRESENTS ITS ERA

As soon as it was unveiled in 1953, it was clear to many that this super-compact car was destined to be a huge success. Because of difficulties with its production in Bresso, in 1955, by which time just 800-900 had been built in total, it was withdrawn from the assembly line. But the Isetta nevertheless achieved worldwide success, thanks to its production, with minimal modifications, abroad. The car offered (chassis #206, still paired with its original Iso Moto 200 engine) is one of the very rare ISOs built in Bresso and it is eligible to participate in the Mille Miglia. Sold in Reggio Calabria on February 24th, 1954, to its first owner, a Mr Giuseppe Marra, the following year it entered the possession of its second owner, the mechanic responsible for ISO Moto assistance in Reggio, and was left parked in the workshop. For this reason, in 1959, it failed to receive the updates envisaged by the new highway code, and some years later was officially de-registered. A third owner, in the early 1980s, took it to Rome. In 2013 the current owner bought it and had it completely restored by ISO specialists Mario Gerli of Milan. Now, after five years of work, the car is ready. It is offered for sale in perfect working order and with very few kilometers on the clock.
THE ITALIAN AUTHORITIES HAVE STARTED THE PROCEDURE OF CULTURAL INTEREST FOR THIS LOT. Errata corrige: The car has been re-registered, keeping the original plate. Ready to be listed to the new owner
