Hah! I'd not seen that one.
I can't recall EVER having the feeling of "the excitement of sportscar driving" while driving my Isetta!
Getting my 215 pounds along with my 10 & 13 year old nieces up the hill from the ice cream shop requires every ounce of HP that little car can produce!
Thanks Arash- you made me smile today!

"Auxiliary gas tank, never runs dry" and "never needs repairs". ... 'Post-truth', Oxford dictionary's 2016 word of the year, comes to mind.

But would it pull an Airstream?

I had a buddy that bought one of these back about 58-59. It was the model with a back seat and also had door in the side to access the back seat. I think he paid about 1200.00 , brand new. Was a real blast to drive.

If this guy can pull his boat with this car George certainly should be able to tow his Airstream with an Isetta

I suppose 13hp could pull an Airstream, maybe around the parking lot.

Maybe it would fit inside the Airstream.....

It would pull the rv just fine if George would put auto gas and Marvel Mystery Oil in it
Of course it would preform even better if it was a GREEN one

Hmmm.....
I've been looking at a lot of airstream ads lately. I also find my Isetta a little cold and not able to handle MN snow.
George, maybe it's time to work out a trade!

Hitching a big wooden boat to an Isetta is one thing, but pulling it at road speed is quite another....

An Isetta might be an improvement:

That looks like false advertising to me, they have the sails up on top and I bet there is a tailwind!
