Please note that the image has now been changed, so you are now 'guessing' the small orange car which has escaped the dreaded watermarked image treatment.

It looks like a BMW Isetta 300

[Djetset]

Not a Googomobile, and it does look like a BMW Isetta, but it isn't!

I think that is an Isetta built under BMW licence in Great Britain at Brighton in 1957

[Djetset]

No, not that either.

[thorax]

Iso Isetta?
Isetta Velam?

[Djetset]

Not, not those either.

[diecastaussie]

Is it a Tri Tech Zetta?

[Djetset]

No, not that one either.  We're beginning to run out of options!

Are we out of spaghetti?

I leave that for the tasty ones...

Time to move on...

Unless I'm mistaken, this is the Harrington BB prototype electric bubble car, made by Harrington Group, a company based in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, and whose main product line is remanufactured brightwork (bumpers, handles, etc.) for classic cars.

Obviously modelled on the Isetta, the BB is all new, and built from scratch, with the drivetrain consisting of electric hub motors in all four wheels. From what I can gather it's still at the development stage, but it looks like fun, and I quite fancy one myself.

A search on the name will bring up more details, and there are also a few short videos on Youtube about the car.

The perfect, and very complete, answer.  Well done, you get the point.
