Hi Keith/ukblitz,

Welcome to the forum. Unique cars need unique TDs!

I came across a couple web sites, perhaps they could be useful
for you:

Happy planning and building!

Cheers,
Norm/mezmo

It seems to me that the Pico-Light would be the ideal trailer - seeing as it is a sort-of teardrop replica of the Piccolo trailer towed by Isettas in the past.

Welcome to the Forum.
I agree you need something unique!
A friend of mine has an Isetta, and I have driven it. Not a lot of towing power there, so you will have to build light.
Just saw some cool builds on the Forum last week from some 2CV meets.
Check those out.
Have you ever heard of an "Egg" saw a few around western Washington about 15 years ago.
VERY LIGHT

A company in Mount Pleasant, Tennessee is building the Piccolo again.

The KRC Ailettear is their name for the reproduction trailer. It weighs only 400 lbs. fully optioned out. The basic Ailettear weight is about 200 lbs.
