Iso Rivolta keychain holder

A few weeks back I had my yearly car trip to Italy. One of the guys who participated had bought a Iso Lele! So I looked up some potential adresses we could visit since we were recently close in the area. And I didn't expect to visit all these place. I drove along with my Fiat 130 Coupe.

Of course we had a look at the Iso Rivolta mansion but the gates were closed. Some other places were visited as well but we ran out of time. So the next day we visited Il Bottegone in Clusone. In this workshop one of the old Iso factory crew members purchased lots of stock when Iso went bankrupt and now he and his son are carrying out maintenance on these automobiles.


Luckily his son did speak English very well which made commuincation easy.


Clearly they were only into the automobiles. So when I asked about the Iso Scooters I got ahold of the following person: Mario Gerli. I had already obtained his details from an old business card but the phone number and email are no longer valid. But now I have his mobile number and so I tried to get in contact with him via Whatsapp, but no luck so far:


Next we were gifted this great keychain holder. I consider this a very cool item and I'm now using it for the Iso Scooter keys :-)



Another Item I recently purchased is this item, a nice retro Marshall mini amplifier to store your keys:
