The Fiat 600 Jolly was a whimsical creation by Carrozzeria Ghia, commissioned for wealthy industrialists like Gianni Agnelli and Aristotle Onassis. Starting with a standard Fiat 600, Ghia removed the roof and doors, reinforced the chassis, and fitted unique wicker seats and a simple surrey top. They were sold as specialized beach cars, perfect for transport from a yacht to a waterside villa.
Collectors are drawn to the Jolly's sheer novelty and rarity. It's an unserious car designed purely for fun, and its association with 1960s jet-set glamour gives it a unique history. With its tiny footprint and open-air design, it offers a driving experience unlike anything else. Genuine Ghia-built cars are scarce, which adds to their appeal and value.
Buying Tips
- Authenticity is everything. Verify it's a genuine Ghia-built car through documentation and specific features, as many replicas exist.
- The wicker seats are a defining feature and are very expensive to restore or replace. Inspect them closely for damage, rot, or missing sections.
- Rust is a major enemy of these cars. Thoroughly check the floor pans, sills, and suspension mounting points, which are often more exposed to the elements.
- Examine the condition of the surrey top's fabric and its support frame. Finding or fabricating a correct replacement can be difficult and costly.
- The 600's mechanicals are simple, but ensure the 633cc engine and transmission are in good health. Parts are available, but a full rebuild adds significant cost.
