I saw this crazy-looking vehicle parked at our little local zoo today. There is one very subtle clue of the brand in this view.
Can you guess? And hey, where’s the driver-side door?
It’s a 1959 BMW? The whole front opens?
And then there’s a little door for the passengers in back? I didn’t notice the door arrangements until just now, looking at the photos. I would have sought out the owner and asked for a demonstration….
Nice,
yeah, you should have asked the owner !
And also asked for the price !!?????????
This very rare BMW 600, is in very good condition a sought after
collectors item – worth around US$ 20.000,– !!!!
I forgot to say,
it’s the bigger brother of this one and much much RARER !! Have a look :

Indeed — only 34,000 made. I add this link because the other will go away with time.
You are right, thanks !!
In Germany, the nickname for this BMW Isetta (2-seater) was
“Knutschkugel”, means “smootchball”.
Duly added to my limited German vocabulary 😉
