1971 Fiat 500 Jolly Recreation

Vendor supplied images

Highlights

  • Only 1,000 km since restoration
  • Engine overhauled
  • Only one previous owner
  • Restored by the seller
  • In fabulous condition and ready for summer!

The Appeal

Probably no car has a name so suited to its nature as the Jolly. Based on the Fiat 500, already so rich in character, the Jolly is characterised by modifications that evoke the sun and carefree summer mood.
This explains the great popularity of conversions like this one. Painted in a charming 'ice cream' mint green, it has covered a mere 1,000 km since the seller completed a thorough restoration of the bodywork and mechanics. The work carried out is illustrated by photographic documentation.
Having received numerous interventions and new parts, this delightful Jolly is ready for fine summer days.
