STILL one of my favorite cars in that price range. I keep doing searches on the first year cars hoping they will come down to a reasonable level. No such luck.

Indeed.

Now that is a rare car, especially to see parked illegally (in a crosswalk) on the street.

That's right near my office.

I saw one of those Spykers in South Beach over the holidays. Weird car.

It was at the end of a valet spot along the curb. The car behind it was pulling out and they backed the spyker up after so it wasn't in the crosswalk.

I actually saw an Isetta on the road yesterday. Wasn't able to get to my phone quickly enough to snap a pic, as it was in oncoming traffic.

My wife used to work with a women in NJ who's husband used to collect and restore them. They lived a few miles away from Morristown airport (off of Park Ave) He had a lift in the lower level of his garage that could lift a complete Isetta up to his upper level. He also had a bin that could attach to the lift for moving parts and assemblies up and down.

When we left NJ he had 4 or 5 of them. might have been one of his. He actually has been hired for a parade or two in NYC (Stubins parade)

Probably likely... I doubt there are too many people in the area who have running roadworthy Isettas! It was orange, FWIW. (Or maybe a very faded red).
