Normally, when a car only racks up about 20 miles a year since its restoration, those miles are racked up going off and on trailers, but in the case of this 1957 Isetta for sale on Hemmings.com, we suspect there’s just not that much opportunity to drive it around in modern traffic, a supposition made in part by the video of the Isetta driving around. From the seller’s description:
Less than 50 miles since 2.5 year restoration. $40k+ restoration completed by most respected shop in the country. Every nut, bolt and part on car was taken off and cleaned, painted, chromed, fixed or replaced. 298cc cc, 1 cylinder, 4-stroke engine matched to a 4 speed.
