| The
Isetta was a microcar made by BMW and perhaps most
well-known in the United States as the car driven
by Steve Urkel in the TV show "Family Matters."
It had a bubble shape, 3 wheels on many models,
and only one door for passengers to use, in the
front of the car! |

| The
Isetta was made by several different companies.
They included Iso, Romi-Isetta, Velam, Isetta of
Britain, and BMW. BMW built 136,367 of them. Isetta
of Britain built the second most, with just about
30,000. Of the 8,500 Isetta's imported by BMW to
the United States, it is estimate about 1,000 survive.
An Isetta-like kit is also currently being sold,
which allows buyers to choose an engine type. Besides
the original motors, motorcycle engines are also
popular choices, as they are small enough to fit
in the rather cramped space the design of the car
allows. Used Isetta's are still widely available
on eBay, along with Isetta parts and memorabilia. |
