Reported to be comprehensively restored both aesthetically and mechanically
Upgraded 650cc engine with synchronised gearbox
Located in Italy with export documents ready
Spiaggina-style open-top conversion of a vintage Fiat 500
The Appeal
Few cars capture the spirit of la dolce vita quite like the Fiat 500 Spiaggina, or the 'Jolly'. Originally conceived as bespoke beach cars for the jet set of the Italian Riviera, these open-top 500s have become some of the most coveted and photogenic derivatives of Fiat's beloved city car. Originals are vanishingly rare and command extraordinary prices, making well-executed replicas increasingly popular.
This particular example is a vintage Fiat 500 that has been converted to one of these open-top yacht cars, and, according to the vendor, comprehensively restored inside and out. The fitting of a larger 650cc engine and synchronised gearbox represents a sensible upgrade, offering improved performance and greater confidence in modern traffic. Situated in Italy with export documents reported to be ready, this Spiaggina replica is a charming, distinctive callback to a golden age of Italian motoring. Prospective bidders are encouraged to study the photographs carefully and make any further enquiries prior to bidding.20250903_154605.jpeg1.36 MB
