As for small cars my #2 dream restore would be a BMW 600 - that's an Isetta with a rear seat and 1 rear door.
Here's the most amazing story of my whole life, practically:
I decided I was in total love with Isetta's ever since I was about 4 years old. When I discovered the 600, I just felt like I had seen the most beautiful thing in the world and set myself to get one some day.
Here's the catch: less than 900 of these were ever imported to the USA. So I figured I would never get within 3000 miles of one.
3 years ago, I was talking to a long-time neighbor friend who was upset about all the stuff his grandfather left behind in some storage buildings out in greater Minnesota somewhere (he lived to nearly 100!)
He then said something like: there's even this weird little car in there. A BMW I think. Really weird - with a door in the front - and just 1 door to the back seat - i dunno..... probably too weird to even sell to someone.
I actually got diizzy and staggered, I think. I printed a pic of the 600 and showed it to my neighbor. "Yeah, that's it."
He couldn't have been more bored!
Well, L story S, he still has it in a building somewhere and I don't have it or a building.
But I digress......
