Hmm
I have owned 3 250 Isettas ,2 300 Isetta an d2 600 Isettas.

One of the 600's I removed the 19hp 600 amd replaced it with a BMW 700Cs engine. The engines are the same exept for the Twin Carbs and High compression pistons.
It was just plain Scary way to much power for the 600's tiny Brakes.

Had a lot of fun with Isettas along with all the other Micro Cars I have owned over the years.

Here are just a few:
Bmw 700 cs had three of them. My 1964 is now in the BMW Factory Museum.

Trabant 600 my daily driver for a couple of years. Twin RD-350 Chambers Nothing like winding out a Two Stroke. That car can be seen in the movie " Driving Me Crazy" With Thomas Gottchal and Billy Dee Williams.

Subaru 360 had a couple of these in highSchool. These got me Hooked on Two Strokes.

Nsu prinz 1000 TT I got this from an Old Guy who brought it back from West Germany while he was in the Airforce. Just plain Bitchen car If you ever see one check out the oilcooler.

2-CV mine had a Ami-8 Engine which is the Hot rodders way of Hopping them up. Sold it to a Guy in Santa Barbra named John Hancock Two Tone Grey . Have you seen it around town Mike Z.

Moris Minors had a bunch of these. my buddies and I were into taking the 948cc out and putting 124 Fiat engines in. The Sleeper of all time. Had to swap in midget brakes to get them to stop.

So many Saab two strokes my buddys called me Sven Svenska. I was a member of the Saab club way back in the Richard Grossman days.

The one I always wanted was a Messer KR 500. Still looking for one but way out of my price range now.
