I would have said Isetta but the headlamps look too low. Could be a van-type vehicle? Strange!

ISO-Isetta Isocarro. The Isetta was originally an Italian development. After production there ceased around 1954-55, BMW started to build them under license. Here is an original Isocarro:

In this case Isetta is part of the make, or the model name?

Isetta is the make.

edit....I believe it was the make but could someone confirm it.

In the UK they were only known as Isetta and not Iso.

I did not notice it was a UK movie. Then I guess it is the make "Isetta of Great Britain", like the other than we have on the site.

Definitely in Italy, so whatever the Italian version would be called.

It is the 'Iso Autocarro', sometimes also called 'Iso Isetta Autocarro'.

This vehicle was developed by Iso Automotoveicoli S.p.A (Bresso, Milan - Italy) starting from the Iso Isetta microcar. The name used was Isocarro 500 (this number was the Kg of capacity, not the displacement - the motor was 236 cc. double cylinder, two stroke) or Isetta Autocarro.

Accoring to the Iso Isetta owners manual, this is an Autofurgone 500. The pickup is shown as the Autocarro 500.

In advertising, the Isetta trucks are shown by various names including Isettacarro, and Isocarro 500, although the Isocarro name is more frequently associated with the 3-wheeled commercial vehicles.

Anyone know where I may find some Iso Isetta or Autocarro 500 parts? If so, email me at:
