This one's going straight to the Experts. :o
For 1 point, please tell me more about this car. At least the name of the person who built it.

According to my info, it's a home-made vehicle built in Romania by a Hungarian (at least his name is Hungarian).
The photos were taken in Romania. The license plate threw me off though (I am not aware of such license plates issued here).

Was it built during the 1970s?

It was built in the late 1950s according to my source.

The owner states that the engine comes from a BMW. It is a single-cylinder engine so it's probably from an Isetta.

That's where the photos were taken, yes. ;D
No idea if it was actually built there.

I believe the name you are looking for is Oszkár Beke, who made this car in the late 1950s, after he saw an Isetta.
