The Attractions

The Fiat 500 is a celebrated and admired masterpiece of automotive minimalism, but the 'Jolly' surpasses it in originality and essentiality. Created in the late 1950s by the legendary Carrozzeria Ghia, the first Jollys were intended to be a kind of road tender for the yachts of wealthy customers. In the years that followed, the 500 became more and more famous and loved, and conversions to the 'Jolly' became more and more popular, as even today it is hard to imagine a car that is as pleasant, nice and fun.

This splendid example has recently been restored by one of the most highly regarded specialists in the field and is therefore in truly exemplary condition and ready for its next lucky owner. Irresistible in its attractive turquoise colouring with matching rims, it is enhanced by charming details such as the striped fabric awning and the beautiful wicker interior. This 500 has been completely overhauled and thoroughly maintained, and is ready to offer a unique experience to its next lucky owner.
