Not sure where this Cinderella reboot is going…

Anyway:

Intriguing. But so far a quick search hasn’t turned up any exhibitions anywhere near me. Oddly enough the search results included the local museum, but a search on the museum’s side itself drew a blank. I’ll keep an eye out.

Remins me in way of this. It popped up on FBOOK, and what interests me is that in most of the comments, people assume it’s AI.

My first thought was “An electric Peel 50!”, but it’s larger and more capable than that.

What now? Seriously?
This is very, very much like the BMW (yes) Isetta.

Iso Isetta.

Since we’re getting all technical…
BMW manufactured the Isetta under licence from ISO SpA, but they re-engineered so much of it that after they were done, none of the parts between a BMW Isetta Moto Coupe and an Iso Isetta are interchangeable.

Much to the chagrin of people who have bought the one and try to repair/restore it with parts from the other.

The interesting thing about the Bavarian Isetta is that it literally saved BMW from bancrupcy in the 1950ies. Well, and the motorcyles.
One of their biggest competitors at the time was, ironically, Glas.
