4-Wheeler bubble car made by BMW, back in 1957!
Classic, mad “car”. Entry is via the door at the front, and the steering column moves with it!
BMW Isetta Bubble Car (4-wheeler) for sale on eBay UK
So old it pre-dates their model numbering system (316i, 330d, etc)
Looks like an easy restoration..
Very rare retro-van made by Nissan. Closely related to the Figaro, Be-1, and Pau retro cars. Ideal vehicle for advertising your business.
Nissan S-Cargo for Sale on eBay – Very Rare!
This looks truly gorgeous! Loads of photos, but no description as yet..
NSU RO 80 For sale on eBay UK – No reserve!
Classic Nissan Pao on eBay. These cars are closely related to the Figaro and S-Cargo, but much more rare!
Based on (bubble) Micra technology, so spares shouldn’t be a problem.
This is a real oddball! The back-end resembles the Renault Megane “Shakin that ass!” styling, but the sides resemble early Citroen 2CV, with corrugated metal. Strange.
Based on Yaris technology, this car was never sold outside Japan.

Toyota Will – Rare, Yaris based retro-car. Never sold outside Japan.

Mad!
The Nissan Be-1 is a retro-styled variant of the K10 (Bubble) Micra (March in Japan)
It’s siblings are the Figaro, Pao, and S-cargo.
Designed as a fashionable city car, with small turning circle and good fuel economy.

These are very rare. Check out the (lack of) listings for actual cars on the ebay showcase, below. Most of the listings are for models of Be-1s..
The Pao was a spin-off of the K10 (Bubble) Micra — the Figaro, Be-1, and S-Cargo being the others.
The engine was the 1.0 L (987 cc) MA10S, coupled with a 3-speed automatic transmission or a 5-speed manual transmission. The Pao was intended as a fashionable city car, with a small turning-circle, and good fuel economy.
The Pao was never sold in the UK, so any Paos in the UK will be imports from Japan. Fortunately, Japan drives on the left, too, so these will all be right-hand-drive.
