When I was in the army in Germany, I saw a lot of bubble cars, and when I came out in 1960, I thought I'll have one of those. So I bought this Isseta and it was a good little runaround. I painted it with Magicoat blue inside and I loved it. This was a 4-wheeler so I had to pay full car tax, when a 3-wheeler was half the cost. So my next bubble car was a 3-wheeler. I bought them both from Mr Cook in Holland Road, Hove.
