Descrizione

The Borgward Isabella TS two-door is a striking example of post-war German automotive design, combining elegant styling with lively performance and a sense of individuality that set it apart from its contemporaries. Introduced in the mid-1950s by Carl F. W. Borgward's Bremen-based company, the Isabella quickly became the marque's most successful model, with the TS (Touring Sport) variant offering a more dynamic driving experience and a subtly sportier character. The two-door saloon is particularly desirable, featuring a sleeker profile than the four-door version, with clean lines and delicate chrome detailing. Under the bonnet, the TS models were equipped with an uprated version of Borgward's 1.5-litre four-cylinder engine, delivering improved power and responsiveness, making it capable of comfortable high-speed cruising by the standards of the day. Inside, the Isabella TS reflects understated luxury, with thoughtful ergonomics, clear instrumentation and quality materials throughout. The driving experience is engaging yet refined, offering a smooth ride combined with precise steering and strong road manners, characteristics that helped it compete with more established European rivals.

Originally registered on 4th August 1961 this right hand drive Borgward presents in delightful condition. With only one previous keeper - the original purchaser kept the car for over 62 years - this is clearly a highly cherished and much-loved example. During his stewardship, this Isabella underwent a six-year restoration project. The current vendor is a fastidious classic car enthusiast and is only selling this Borgward due to lack of garage space. These charming cars are easy to drive and have a reputation for being hugely reliable. The compressions were checked on the engine recently and all registered 160psi. Supplied with a V5 registration document and a good history folder, the Borgward Isabella TS two-door is a rare and appealing choice for collectors seeking something beyond the usual classic offerings. Its blend of style, engineering and relative exclusivity ensures it stands out at shows and events, while its usability makes it equally suited to enjoyable road driving. Consigned by Stewart Banks
