Description

This is a true barn find. A 1959 BMW 600, this model was often referred to as the "Isetta Limo". One of 35,000 examples produced between 1957 & 1959, this car has a longer wheelbase than the Isetta, a significant horsepower upgrade, and holds 4 passengers with a right rear door for access. The engine is a 582 cc air cooled 4 stroke engine, and it has a 4 speed transmission with reverse.
Runs and rolls!!! Engine starts with the key and runs smoothly with no smoking. Idles perfectly. Carburetor recently serviced.
What does it need....this car will need a new floor installed (these are available). Windshield is broken but comes with a NEW windshield (still uninstalled). Rear window is currently plexiglass, and needs to be replaced. It appears the area above the rear window sustained minor damage, and probably broke the original glass. This area will need attention when the replacement glass is installed. Needs muffler. A very amateur paint job was performed at some time (red over original red). Chrome was painted grey. Interior back seat bottom only is missing, and interior panels are needed. Gas tank appears to be in good shape, no rust spots or holes, but will need to be serviced. No brakes are working. Both doors close nicely. Wheels are in great shape as are tires. Everything shown in pictures will be included with car. Parts for these cars are readily available within the U.S.
This is a project we were hoping to complete, but loss of storage warehouse forces sale. Will be happy to answer any questions, supply additional photos, etc. Ready to assist with shipping and parts information. This car will also be offered locally, so we reserve the right to end this auction early.
