THE ECONOMY CARS "BUBBLE CAR"
The BMW Isetta was introduced as an economy vehicle in 1955 and became a world-wide successful seller, through to the early 1960s. It was built between 1955 and 1962 with a one cylinder, 298 cc motorcycle engine and managed 70 per gallon with a top speed of 55 mph.
As an economical vehicle it not only displayed the attraction of cheap motoring but also gave the simplicity of parking in any small space, and as a result almost 200,000 cars were built to meet demand.
The rear engined car had an unusual full width front door, two large front wheels and two small narrowly set rear wheels. The English market version, nicknamed the “Bubble Car”, had only one rear wheel, to render the vehicle eligible for the UK motorcycle license laws.
