Talk:Isetta

message: 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.

message: 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.

message: If someone likes any of these pictures there are available to include in the article.  I took these of a vehicle I saw on the street in Bad Tolz in around 1987.

message: 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)

: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)

message: 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)

message: 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)

message: 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)
replies: text: Wheelbase bedeutet Radstand.   I think you mean (in English) Track.   But this does affect your point which is interesting in a light hearted sort of way.... Charles01 (talk) 08:57, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Quote from the site: 
"Type Autocarro, a commercial version with full-width rear axle. ... The Autocarro was offered in several body styles, a flatbed pickup, enclosed truck (Furgone Commerciale), a tilt-bed, or even a fire engine!
This was an extremely popular type of vehicle in Italy, and numerous manufacturers produced some variant of the type. This included Iso themselves, having previously (1950-1953) produced a motorcycle-type Isocarro. The Iso Autocarro was larger than most, with its four-wheel layout, proper rear axle with differential and leaf springs, and massive tube frame. It was good for a 500 to 600 kg load. The name Isetta Autocarro was also used."

message: I have no reference for it, but I can remember as a child about 1955 seeing a 3-wheel Isetta model in an automobile show room in Memphis, Tennessee. Perhaps someone can find a reference to a US import model? --Zeamays (talk) 23:21, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
