Bruce Weiner Microcar Museum Tour Index

The Microcar Museum lists 9 Isettas, including a pickup truck. The cars were auctioned off, but the pictures are still up.

Heinkel made the 1956 Heinkel Kabine

Quote:
Aircraft designer Ernst Heinkel saw the Iso Isetta, and decided that he could do one better, using aircraft principles and making it lighter yet faster with a smaller engine. He did just that with the Kabine 150, the quintessential "bubble car" with its large window area and longer, sleeker lines, that were a cross between Isetta and Messerschmitt.

In October 1956, he introduced the Kabine 153 (three-wheeler) and 154 (four wheeler) with the trusty four-stroke motor enlarged to 203cc. From March 1957 this was reduced to 198cc for insurance reasons.
One example there.

Edit: so I was wrong, there are 6 more Isettas manufactured by ISO in Spain and two more BMWs in the 'retired' section at the bottom

Isettacarro -- a flatbed truck!
