Vehicle Description
This is an extremely rare 1961 Fiat Jolly 500 made for the US
market. It has just 4,585 Actual Miles From New! It is a two owner
car and has never before been offered for sale to the public. It
was purchased new in 1961 by a gentleman in Kentucky who kept it in
his garage. The second owner, a collector from Indianapolis,
purchased it from the original owner in 2003. It was complete and
just needed cosmetic help to bring it back to perfection. He
preceded to do an excellent and correct restoration on it. The
motor is original and numbers matching. It only needed a few
gaskets and a clutch to bring it back to life. The body was
completely disassembled and stripped and showed that the car never
had any rust ever! It was completely refinished in it's original
and highly desirable Coral with a Coral and White surrey top. The
wicker seats were also correctly and beautifully restored to their
original condition. It even still has it's original spare tire and
factory jack! These Jolly's were developed and made by Ghia at the
request of then Fiat chairman Gianni Agnelli to use around his
yacht. They became the thing to have for many European and American
dignitaries and celebrities. This example would make a great
addition to any serious collection or as part of an automotive
investment portfolio!!!!
