The Isetta is not a particularly difficult car to find these days, even though it was built more then 60 years ago. However the Isetta Veram shown in these photographs is extremely rare. It is the 'Speciale' or 'Corse'. The Spéciale was built on a standard Isetta frame, with its body quite unlike the standard Isetta bubble car. It was driven by Jean Bianchi and Claude Peslier and broke several records in its class, during the late 1980s and early 1990s.. It was fitted with the Isetta 236 cc engine and raced for up to 24 hours at average speeds of nearly 110 km/h. The drivers must have been of sturdy construction as well, as one of the photos showing the cockpit of the car, gives the impression that driver comfort was not in the forefront of the designer's mind. As can be read from the exhibit's sign shown in the photograph top left, the Isetta Velam Spéciale appears to be carrying road registration plates. The numerals '75' suggest that the car was normally located in Paris. The pictures were taken by Jean-Pierre Bush during an outing of the Club des Tacots Mirebalais. Mirebeau is a picturesque town about half way between Loudun and Poitiers in Burgundy. The word tacots is a semi-slang word meaning 'bomb' or 'old wreck'. This is of course tongue in cheek, as the cars on the outing were very fine indeed.
