Wonder which is more sort after, the Cabrio or the Transporter? I suppose there are a few Cabrio reps about, but reckon the Isetta will still out do the Goggo, but it's a difficult one to call.

All looks to expensive to me, other than to encourage me to sell similar cars. Vellam is affordable and ideal if you do not want to go anywhere. Prettiest Isetta of the lot. The Mivilino of the pack in Schmitt speak. One of them for sale too. Cannot afford it either.

Transporter more desirable but those willing to pay a good chunk of change for one don't want a rusted out hulk.

Although the Isetta is an excellent, relatively rust-free and fairly original vehicle, I don't think it will go much higher as the same people with money don't want a project and the ones that do don't want to spend a lot.

I agree with Al about the Velam.  Good luck finding tires.
I have heard that one can swap out Ape wheels and then use scooter tires.

I'd definately go for the Velam as well, though I'd love to try driving one of those Mochets

MIne has new all round. had what were then the last tyres in France but more have turned up since. Thinks, must check pressures and feed the rubber with petroleum jelly again.
