LHD Dubbed as “la spiaggina” or “the little beach” in its native Italy, the Fiat 500 Jolly conjures up visions of sun-drenched Mediterranean beaches, striped parasols and elegant sunbathers like no other car on earth.
In 1957 automotive design studio Carrozzeria Ghia were commissioned by Fiat boss Avvocato Gianni Agnelli to create a beach car based on the Nuova 500, which was launched that year.
Agnelli was looking for a car that could easily be loaded onto his yacht, Agneta, and the Nuova 500 was the perfect candidate car.
And so, the Jolly was born and soon became the preserve of the period’s great and good.
Celebrity owners included Princess Grace of Monaco, Elvis Presley, and Aristotle Onassis.
This pristine example is created by a Specialist Artisanal Company .
As 1960s jet-setters partied down at sandy beaches all over the world, they were most often seen not in their Ferraris or Maseratis but behind the wheel of a Fiat Jolly.
The Jolly, based upon the reliable mechanicals of the Italian “people’s car,” the 500, featured dune buggy-like bodywork by Ghia of Turin, with open sides, a simple surrey top, and wicker seats that would have looked at home at an English garden party.
It was often finished in brilliant, shiny colors, making it all the better to match one’s swimsuit or yacht club burgee.
Jollies were all the rage on the streets of resort towns, and if you were really a member of the jet-set, you carried one upon the deck of your yacht as a tender.

Jollies were all the rage on the streets of resort towns, and if you were really a member of the jet-set, you carried one upon the deck of your yacht as a tender.
The Jolly offered here has been treated to a meticulous body-off restoration, which included stripping the body to bare metal and repairing or fabricating new body panels as necessary.
A corrosion inhibitor epoxy was meticulously applied to the entire body inside and out before the final factory color.
Every single piece of chrome was either replated or replaced, all aluminum was straightened and polished, all rubber gaskets and seals were renewed, and new emblems were installed.
Other cosmetic work was just as meticulous, with seats restored by stripping, repairing, and painting, followed by a reweaving by a professional wicker weaver, who also applied his craft to the front dash bar.
The top frame is rebuilt, and a new canvas top installed.
The engine is professionally rebuilt, and it is augmented by a fully refurbished brake system and fuel system, which included an acid washing and lining of the gas tank.
All ancillary engine components is replaced or rebuilt; the transmission was opened and inspected, with all fluids replaced; and a new exhaust system is installed.
The clutch IS rebuilt, and the wheels were shod with new tires.
Optional = White Wall Tyres.
In the last few years, the popularity of Jollies has gained traction, and they are now highly sought-after by collectors.
Close inspection will reveal to the trained eye the high level of attention to detail and craftsmanship that was employed in its refurbishment.
