FIAT 500 JOLLY As with its city version, the Fiat 500 Jolly is emblematic of the Italy of the 1960s/1970s. Although the golden era of coachbuilders between the wars is over, some models served as a basis for the work of certain coachbuilders, wishing to offer a wealthy clientele exclusive models, sometimes very sporty, sometimes reserved for a particular use. Such is the case of the Fiat Jolly. A mythical beach car, like the Mini Moke made famous by Brigitte Bardot in St Tropez, this beach version was very much in vogue in Italy's posh seaside resorts, particularly in the hands of Aristotle Onassis. Devoid of doors and roof, replaced by an awning often with bangs and ropes, many models were fitted with wicker seats. The best-known symbol of beach cars, its performance is not sought-after. Like its city sibling, it's equipped with a 497 cm3 air-cooled twin-cylinder engine, which is more than enough to get you to your boat in port or to the seaside. Officially produced in less than 100 examples, according to sources, by the Ghia coachbuilder, reproductions, like this one, have been legion for over 50 years. For sale is a sparkling yellow version with a white fabric roof. With its wooden steering wheel (note the Ferrari logo in the center) and wicker seats, it will be an invitation to travel and pleasure after an aesthetic and mechanical restoration. Also known as "Spiaggina" for "plagette" in Italy, this yoghurt pot convertible is just looking for a new family to restore it to its former glory. (Sold non-rolling and non-rotating, further information and photos on request). Engine: 497 cm3 air-cooled twin-cylinder Transmission: 3-speed manual Power: approx. 19 hp Dimensions: 2.97 x 1.32 x 1.32 m

1968 FIAT 500L Chassis 1978860 Collector's registration Desirable version Good condition 9 000 / 11 000€ Invented by Dante Giacosa, the Fiat 500 was manufactured in Italy between 1957 and 1975. It was codenamed ""110"" for the saloon and ""120"" for the Giardiniera version. The 500L was launched in 1968, at a time when no one expected a new 500 to be presented. It was a "luxury" version: on the outside, only a curved chrome bar doubled the front and rear bumpers, while the interior was completely modified and featured the instruments of the Fiat 850, as well as a "dressed" dashboard and new adjustable seats. The model we're presenting is a 1968 500L. It comes in a beautiful orange hue, with a black skai interior. In good general condition, the car has been restored by its previous owner. The gearbox has just been changed. The most accomplished version of the little 500, the L is the most desirable for those wishing to take advantage of the little Fiat's versatility. 1968 FIAT 500L Chassis 1978860 Collector's registration document Desirable version Good condition 9 000 / 11 000€ FIAT 500L, 'Invented by Dante Giacosa, the Fiat 500 was manufactured in Italy between 1957 and 1975.
