Among a long list of highlights within the group is the 1959 BMW Isetta ‘Whattadrag,’ built by Bruce’s team after being inspired by the famed Hot Wheels model. These days it is rarely seen on the streets.
It was also known as the Forshaga Shopper.
Manufacturer: Norsjo M.V.A. � Packy 72-85. Produced: not known
Another lot of particular interest is the 1955 Messerschmitt KR200, formerly owned by American circus personality and entertainer Vic Hyde. The first years of production the Husqvarna engine was used, from ca 1964 also
with Sachs motor.
This pint-sized treasure was given to Hyde by the factory as the first pre-production example for publicity purposes and specially outfitted to hold his musical instruments.
The incomparable Isetta, with its timeless “bubble car” design, is also well-represented in the Bruce Weiner Museum. With many items having been closely guarded in private ownership, and the vast majority coming to public auction for the first time, the sale is truly unprecedented.

In order to fully appreciate them, I need to share them. � Carrier -04.
Forshaga Shopper was made from 1961 to 1994. The prototype was ready in 1962, and the little vehicle seems to have been produced well into the seventies. Extremely well-known and respected the world over, the colorful and utterly unique museum reflects Weiner’s lifelong fascination with rarities of mechanical interest.
Transport: Packi -62. The handlebar steering and rear-mounted engine were moped-derived.
This odd motorized three-wheel shopping vehicle with shopping basket on the tail was built in Forshaga, Sweden. Other delightful bubble cars were built under license in other countries, such as the Velam Isetta of France and the progenitor of them all, the Iso Isetta.
Whether they are highly original, unmolested examples or recipients of exceptional, professional restorations conducted onsite in Bruce’s own shops, each is considered by industry experts to be the “best of the very best,” and in many cases, the only examples made or surviving.
From the smallest production car ever built, a 1964 Peel P-50, to the Italian iteration of the Messerschmitt, known as the Mivalino, the only 100 percent original one in the world, the collection quite literally contains everything—every imaginable Biscuter, an assortment of four Goggomobil Transporters, of which few additional examples exist, and such rarities as a 1955 Kleinschnittger F-125 and two Voisin Biscooters, the extraordinary microcar built by legendary French aviation and automotive engineer Gabriel Voisin.
Headlining the offering is the world’s only complete Messerschmitt collection, spanning from a 1953 KR175 to the second to last serial number known to exist.
