I do not know if I did this correctly.

I was trying to correct the page "BMW Isetta" which only covered the German built Isettas.

[edit] Picture

I have scanned a photograph by me of a Spanish Iso Isetta from 1954 from the front-right and from the right side. It was made in a museum so it suffers from the car being too lit by the flash with the background being too dark. If you think that the article lacks pictures, tell me, and try to enhance the pic and upload it. --Error 20:56, 3 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] External Links

I removed the link/spam for United Bimmer from this article. The Isseta appears only once on the forums, as an aside, and there is no detailed section dedicated to the Isetta at all. Basically, someone wants to drive (pun intended) traffic to a site that, while affiliated with BMW automobiles/owners/admirers, has nothing to do with this topic. --Sirimiri 05:32, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] what is the meaing of "isetta"?

Is there anyone can tell me the real meaning or the orgin of this word, isetta? thanx!

From the article: "By 1952 the engineers Ermenegildo Preti and Pierluigi Raggi had designed a small car that used the scooter engine and named it Isetta — an Italian diminutive meaning little ISO." Oldfarm 12:51, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 'Zetta' Kitcar

I can't find a working link for the UK firm that makes (or made?) the 'Zetta' kit referenced in this article. I'm leaving the reference in place, as I do not have time to research it right now. Someone may want to see if the demise of this company can be confirmed and re-write (or delete) the reference.

The link was good a few weeks ago. It seems that the link has now disappeared. Let's leave it for 30 days and try again then. Oldfarm 17:23, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Romi-Isetta in Havana?

The picture of the "Romi-Isetta" in Havana appears to depict a BMW 600 or a vehicle similar to it. Its rear track is similar in width to its front track, and it appears to have a back seat. Did Romi-Isetta make a car similar to the BMW 600? Respectfully, SamBlob 16:05, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Isetta Reborn

The text in this section is pasted from an article on the web. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.195.136.31 (talk) 19:42, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] link to restoration book

does a link to a preview of John Jensen's detailed 1991 book on isetta restoration seem appropriate?

[edit] Sargwagen

Surely it's not right to describe 'Sargwagen' as 'literally meaning coffin on wheels' ? It doesn't - I would have thought that it means something more like Coffin-car ? PateraIncus (talk) 20:20, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
