Barnfind!


Twin Viking

Recommended Posts

Found this in a barn. According to the title it's a 1963 with 40 hp.

Has not been driven since 1974, 1 owner (now dead). Engine taken out and is found in a nearby garage.

 

Is this a reasonable project?

 

Some corrosion on the right fender, but the rest is pretty rustfree. The dots on the paint is bird droppings, not rust...:-).

Interior looks pretty OK. Still air in 3 out of 4 tyres.

If you want a US source, you can check with Werner (pronounced "Verner") Schwark in GA at Isettas-R-Us.   He does not have a catalog of 700 stuff, but has a lot of parts.  He also imports a lot from sources in Germany.  You can email him a list of what you need and ask for availability and a quote.  

 

I also have a website address for Gabi Bolt in Germany.  I dont have it here at work and will post it later.  I was able to find new aluminum trim for the hood and sides of the car from her, as well as several other things.  But she doesn't have everything---as best as i can tell, no one does.   I have a '62 700 Sport in Creme, much like yours.  Just now starting to get a handle on what is needed.  I am guessing the shipping cost on something as big as a fender would be big buckos.

 

As posted above,  the isetta service website is decent, and by all accounts Gosbert Von Brunn is an honest guy who sells quality stuff.  He does not speak English well.

Here are a few photos of a car we recently did for a customer. It had the race car theme going and he wanted to stay with it, and this is the finished product. Let us know what you think!

 

Also, a big shout out to Werner for the help with the parts we needed. The billet dash trim is of our own design, as are the aluminum knobs, all of which are made in house.

It is actually a 4 bolt headed motor. The extra bolt holes are covered by the head gasket when installed.

So, the other bolt come in from the cylinder side? I am hoping to get my hands on a twin carb engine one of these days.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
