Borgward Isabella 1960

General description : When Carl F.W. Borgward returned to his factory from internment after the war in 1948, he already had plans for a new mid-range car. The Hansa 1500 was the first German post-war design to be presented at the Geneva Motor Show in 1949. The pontoon body was sensational: no wings, thus more space in the interior, no semaphore indicators as direction indicators but modern flashers developed by Bosch. Despite initial difficulties, the Borgward Isabella as the successor became a favourite with the public. At the time, there was no competition for a sports saloon like the Isabella. In February 1957, Borgward presented the two-seater Isabella Coupé. What an attraction! Stunningly beautiful, powerful and luxuriously equipped. It was an export hit, even for the USA.Our Borgward Isabelle Coupé with the rare steel sliding roof has been in today’s hands since 2009 and has been registered in Germany ever since. The front seats are not as standard, which could perhaps be changed. This classic car is not perfect, but the body and technology are good. Small improvements can easily be made.

About Borgward

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.
