Dear all, Welcome to the May Newsletter of Liège-Brescia-Liège 2008. The rally gets closer by the day and the excitement is building: do please keep us posted with news of your car preparation, some of you are frantically completing total rebuilds, others are fine tuning minor mods and improvements, do let us know so we can share the news... We’re very happy to announce at last that BMW Mobile Tradition will be closely involved in the rally. BMW has always been a crucial element of the mix, because it was one of the few manufacturers to enter works-prepared cars in 1958, as you’ve read before in Stoffel Mulier’s fascinating interview with Isetta driver Edouard Boucquey (and we’re delighted to reveal that Edouard has agreed to join us at the finish and the Prizegiving Dinner). The 1958 route went through BMW’s home city of Munich and the Boucqueys even had time to call in at the factory for repairs. With BMW Mobile Tradition just reopening its fabulous museum this spring, a visit was an absolute must. Well, BMW has gone one better for us: to give you a bit more time to enjoy the museum, we will get two exclusive evening visits to the BMW Museum, with dinner laid on there for us too.

Dear all, Welcome to the December Newsletter of Liège-Brescia-Liège 2008. A very merry Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year to you all: and while the turkey is going down, those of you who haven’t already done so, why not get that Liège-Brescia- Liège entry form filled in and in the post? There’s just time to get it to us before the price goes up at the end of December... And on that note, anyone who spotted the slip in the regulations which suggested that late entries in euros would be a bargain and is holding on for that, please take note of the amendment to the Regulations below. The response so far has been terrific and we’re well on the way to having at least one marque team each of Berkeley SE492s, BMW Isettas, BMW 600s, Fiat 500s and Messerschmitt TG500s, with a good possibility of Vespa 400s, Subaru 360s and others also fielding teams. The range of cars entered runs from 175cc Heinkel to 697cc BMW 700 Sport. Entries have come from far and near: Belgium, England, Germany, Netherlands, Scotland and USA are all represented, and com- petitors range in age from 13 to mid-70s – with a good spread, including some of you in your 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s and 60s.

This book and car has remained in our family since that time. It is somewhat “used” and is showing its age. In converting the original booklet to this document, I kept most of the German translation the same. I find the terminology and use of the English language somewhat amusing. Where words were misspelled, I made an attempt to correct these mistakes. I also found several references to figures that were in error and these were also corrected. In addition to the booklet, I found an insert which I believe was from another document pertaining to the US Export lighting systems. This information is included at the end of this document. Bill Rogers 3 A word of advice Please don't believe that we want you to know the contents of this booklet by heart and don't be afraid by finding a lot of technical data already on the first pages. These are mostly written for the technically- minded Isetta owner, and also for the service stations.
