G'day Alan

I also have driven Isettas. In fact both the 3 and 4 wheel versions. Fun
little car that you really have to plan ahead when a hill is coming up.

Interesting, the 4 wheel versions were made in Brighton in the UK and as
there was no road access to the factory (ex locomotive factory) everything
went in and out by train.

If you lived in the English countryside it was possible to order you Isetta
to be delivered along with your weekly supply of Stilton.

 Alan,
it is much easier to drive a Healey than an Isetta. In a BMW Isetta you feel
the hill as it slows down the speed of the car before you really see it and
you need to think very much in advance to keep your speed. And you may
detect
any hole in the road, as all four wheels are on a different track.
So the Isetta is a real drivers car, as you need to use your brain when
driving it.

Seems the lot of you have gone a bit light in the loafers, playing with your
Barbie dolls.  Perhaps I shall sell the Healeys and join the Isetta list -
it
currently appears to be a place for men with more hair on their chests...
