This is what started it:

after I put the auction listing up, this place picked it up and I elaborated a bit more in the comments with some photos of the removal:

then another guy dared me to make it a Charity Auction, so I did.

There is another link to a short video of the Isetta at the riverbank at each of the above links.

make sure you read the COMMENTS in the above links, that is where the story resides.
