099 Borgward Isabella 2+2 Coupe (1959) 595 MKM by Robert Knight Via Flickr: Borgward Isabella Coupe (1957-62) Engine 1494cc S4 OHV Production 202,862 (all types) *Registration Number 595 MKM (Kent) BORGWARD ALBUM www.flickr.com/photos/45676495@N05/albums/72157623635615043/ Introduced along with its sister Cabriolet version of the Isabella family in 1955. Fitted with the upgraded TS engine and propelling the 2+2 Coupe to around 95mph. The story goes that Carl Borgwards wife Elisabeth was desperate for a Coupe and wanted to purchase a Volkswagen Karmann Ghia. The request was refused by Karl who developed this Coupe with his wife in mind. Elisabeth was presented with a Isabella Coupe, loved it and retained it for many years, until her death. Borgward had many unsold Isabellas when it went bankrupt, controversially, in 1961. Nevertheless, the model's production at the Bremen plant continued until 1962, suggesting that overstocking had not been restricted to finished vehicles.
