Few cars embody the spirit of summer, leisurely getaways and the true ‘Dolce Vita’ quite like the Fiat 500 Jolly. The original model, designed by Ghia based on the small Fiat 500, was particularly popular as a beach and leisure car. Its success naturally inspired numerous recreations, such as this 1964 example.

From the collection of a car enthusiast, this car arrived at the seller’s premises under its own power and is described as being in running order. The restoration and conversion to Jolly specifications included repairs to the underbody, a new paint job, refurbishment of the interior and the fitting of new floor mats.

With its original Italian documents and matching suitcase stowed in the boot, this Fiat 500 Jolly recreation is sure to turn heads wherever it goes.

The seller states:

‘This vehicle comes from the collection of a true motoring enthusiast. It is in excellent overall condition and has retained a high degree of authenticity and originality. It was precisely its excellent condition and authentic character that won us over and motivated us to acquire it.

“Behind the wheel, this Fiat 500 Jolly recreation offers a unique, fun and genuinely enjoyable driving experience. Thanks to its compact dimensions and light weight, it is particularly manoeuvrable and a real pleasure to drive. The manual gearbox adds to the charm of the experience and allows you to rediscover the simple, authentic feel of a classic Fiat 500.

“Performance is obviously not the main focus of this Jolly. Above all, it invites you to drive at a leisurely pace, admire the scenery and enjoy every journey in a typically Italian atmosphere.

“Its open-top design turns every outing into a true summer experience. Whether on country roads, by the seaside or in town, it instantly evokes that sense of freedom and la Dolce Vita that is the very essence of the Jolly concept.

“This Fiat 500 Jolly recreation is, therefore, first and foremost a car designed for pleasure: simple, light, endearing and ideal for making the most of sunny days. A car that doesn’t just take you to your destination, but transforms every journey into a truly enjoyable experience.”
