About this car

This 1972 Fiat 500 is built as a Jolly, the open-topped beach car originally associated with Ghia. It was made in Italy by coachbuilders who worked from original Jolly references, so it is a recreation and not a factory-built example.

The car has had a bare-metal rebuild and is finished in Pastel Blue with chrome trim. The cabin has hand-woven wicker seats on tan leather support rails, rattan floor mats and a blue and white striped canvas surrey top with a fringe. Two USB ports are the only obvious modern addition.

It is left-hand drive with a manual gearbox and petrol power. The dealer says it was driven by the current F1 World Champion. The page gives no mileage, registration or price, which is listed as POA.
