1958 BMW Iso Isetta
This little car is also known as the "rolling egg" in the 50s. Although this is a little car that looks like a scooter, this micro car actually save BMW then from bankruptcy then.
To be honest, I never fancy a Tomica Disney Motor (and I still don't), the only reason I bought this DM-17 is because it looks suspiciously like the Isetta I mentioned above. The Isetta comes in many variations like the "sedan" above, cabrio, truck, 3 or 4 wheelers etc.
The main difference between the Isetta and the DM is the door. Isetta doors is facing against the driver while the DM uses conventional doors like most cars.

Well, I don't want to argue with you, but for me it is looks much more like a Messerschmitt KR175 or KR200. Not like this means anything... 8-)

Hi Sam,
ReplyDeleteI am open so not to worry. I have to agree with you after doing some research in the internet. Only that I only know Isetta rather than the Messerschmitt.
Hey Jovet,
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome. To be honest, now I wonder why I buy them. He he.
