1962 Fiat 600 Jolly

Description

Introduced in the late 1950s, the Fiat 600 Jolly was conceived as a charming, ultra‑exclusive leisure vehicle designed by Ghia at the request of Fiat. With wicker seats, cut‑down sides, and a fringed surrey top, the Jolly was intended for use at beach villas and resorts frequented by the wealthy—famously owned by figures such as Aristotle Onassis.

This 1962 Fiat 600 Jolly underwent a ground‑up refurbishment finished in December 2022. Refinished in Ferrari Red with a replacement white and red soft top, it features wicker seating, restored brightwork trim, replaced floor pans, and refurbished mechanicals. Power comes from its matching‑numbers 633cc inline‑four paired with a four‑speed manual transaxle.

Displaying approximately 30,650 kilometers on the five‑digit odometer, this 1962 Fiat 600 Jolly is offered with a jack, spare tire, refurbishment documentation, and a clean Florida title in the seller's name.
