Nice car, but hardly cheap by even B W auction standard.
I am here in California, where I could pick one up for you in similar condition for about half that amount.
I suppose I have been served a bit of English humor. ::)

English humour is available in shovel loads - it's free.

If all the info stated checks out, that's quite an important Isetta!

I was thinking the same thing, particularly if it was one of the Mille Miglia cars.

What I find most unfortunate about the Isetta posted first is that according to the serial number it was a very nice example of an All Original vehicle back in 2008.  It was just north of me at the time and I spoke with the owner about it.
It sold for $15K USD at the time, more than I was willing to pay, but now someone has repainted it and that history is lost .  These are not the original colors.
