    Ok F Chatters, here is one you won't see on here every day. I can tell you this car gets serious attention from all ages when it rolls down the street (80% of it is positive). 300 cc's of single cylinder, BMW power. This little car actually saved BMW from going out of business, as they needed to find a car they could see in large quantities. Originally designed by ISO, these little cars were even entered in the 1954 Mille MIglia where they took the three top spots in the economy class, averaging a top speed of 43 mph! This older restoration, runs and drives quite well, and has had a very recent carb rebuilt. It has a blistering top speed of approximately 53 mph ( +/- depending on wind), and can carry your family of three (see photo).Always a huge hit and any car show or Cars and Coffee event you will attend. Very complete, and everything works. Asking $25,000 USD. Restored cars are now $50-$60k.

    Hey Dave, do you mind sharing who did the carb rebuild for you? I've got a 1957 and I'm looking for somebody to rebuild the Bing. Thanks!

    HI, I just had a guy who works on all my stuff do it. I remember years ago having a guy rebuild the entire engine and trans for another one I had, and I believe he was in North Carolina. I can dig up his contact information if you like.

    Maybe I will get lucky and another SC F Chatter will buy it, and that will make a trio from here that own them. They really are great little cars, and excellent investments if you look at how they have been climbing in the last few years.
