Altaya editions has just launched a new partwork collection in Spain dedicated to microcars. This serie was sold in France some years ago. The 1st issue is a very nice Isetta Velam, the French version of the popular 'eggcup' also sold under the labels Iso -the original- and BMW. This model is a new casting of the Isetta made by Ixo, different from the one launched around 2005 in another partwork collection, which was an original Iso Isetta. It's a very interesting and unpublished casting and it's only 3 euros with a very good diecast quality... detailed pics very soon...
Cheers
PD: There are many interesting models announced. I don't think I'm going to made the whole collection, but I'll try to pick the most of my interest.

Altaya makes excellent & unique 1/43 models that represent vehicles from around the world. They always seem to look great -AND- are generally reasonably priced. Your 1957 Velam is no exception.

Good one, Keko! Here's my similar model, even though I'm vague on the details. Don't worry about the brand name; the "I" in "ISETTA" is under the axle.
