General description :
Trade-in car. If you are searching for something special, look no further, we have an amazing Borgward Isabella Coupé. According to Borgward connoisseurs it is the prettiest Borgward ever made. On first sight this specific example appears to be due to be fully restored. Nothing is further from the truth. Appearances deceive when it comes to this Borgward. Underneath its distressed original shell there hides a technically perfect car. This Borgward hit the Austrian roads in Vienna on the 15th July 1963. The original Austrian paperwork is still present. Later the car was exported to Germany where the owner wanted to create a good working car without spoiling the authentic appearance of the lovely coupé. Completely new rubbers were fitted to the suspension, the brakes fully overhauled, the engine fully overhauled with lots of gaskets and rubbers being replaced. After a lot of work and over € 3,800.- spent the car was ready. The previous owner enjoyed driving around for a little while, but then decided to look around for his next project. This means you have the unique opportunity to now buy this special Borgward. The bodywork is in fine condition. The panelwork has been rust-proofed. The paintwork suits the car’s overall picture, but could be re-sprayed if so wished. The interior trim has been completely reupholstered and looks very neat and in contrast to the cars shabby exterior look, which only goes to reinforce this car’s quirkiness. The car is certainly versatile in that the mere addition of new paintwork will return this car to showroom condition. Alternatively you could keep the distressed look and just enjoy the car and simply turn the key and drive away. This is a Borgward in fantastic special condition; Unique! THIS VEHICLE IS IN OUR STORAGE, VIEWING BY APPOINTMENT ONLY.

Borgward was a German car manufacturer based in Bremen founded by Carl F. W. Borgward hence the name. The Borgward group eventually held four different brands: Borgward, Hansa, Goliath and Lloyd.
Although, technically advanced Borgward always suffered financially due to lack of competitiveness compared with bigger companies with economies of scale. In addition Borgward failed to divide development cost between the different brands via sharing platforms and components. This led to a bankruptcy in 1961.
