Romi-Isetta (Brazil)
In 1955, Iso licenced the Isetta to Romi, a machine-tool manufacturer
headquartered in the city of Santa Bárbara d'Oeste, in the State of São Paulo.
The Isetta was chosen because it was considered an ideal vehicle for use
in the cities by virtue of its size and economy.
Released on September 5, 1956, it was the first car produced in Brazil.
The car had received government approval as a part
of a state-supported drive to establish an automotive industry in Brazil,
but ended up being built without government backing.


Some 3,000 of the Romi-Isettas were manufactured from 1956 to 1961.

They kept the Iso design and used Iso engines until 1958;

in 1959 they switched to the BMW 300 cc engines.
