Introducing the 1971 Fiat Jolly, a masterpiece of Italian design and craftsmanship, now presented following a meticulous rotisserie restoration by true Italian artisans in Italy. This vehicle represents not just a restoration but a revival of classic Italian history, brought back to its original splendor with the attention and care only local craftsmen could provide.

Restoration Highlights:

- The car features its original, rebuilt 500cc twin engine, renowned for its efficiency, boasting 55 mpg, paired with its original, rebuilt 4-speed manual transmission, ensuring a driving experience that's both authentic and enjoyable.
- A new linen striped Cabrio roof adds a touch of elegance and charm, complemented by new chrome and stainless exterior trim that enhances its classic appeal.
- Inside, the Fiat Jolly offers a unique and inviting interior with real hand-sewn chestnut wicker for five seats, including a factory shifter, blending comfort with historic authenticity.
- The steering experience is brought back to its former glory with a restored correct Fiat 500 white steering wheel, and the engine compartment is detailed to show-ready condition, showcasing the meticulous care taken in every aspect of the restoration.

During its comprehensive disassembly and restoration, the Fiat 500 received genuine replacement Fiat body panels, from the nose to the taillight panels, ensuring structural integrity and aesthetic perfection. The bodywork was meticulously prepped, primed, and finished in a stunning Rosso Red Paint. The Jolly-style body conversion introduces a fringed surrey canopy and a shortened windscreen, eliminating the doors for a breezy, open-air experience.

Other restoration efforts included stainless steel trim, lights, glass, chrome bumpers, a removable storage basket, side-mounted grab rails, and painted 12” steel wheels, contributing to its unmistakable charm. The vehicle's powertrain and 4-speed manual transaxle were rebuilt, drum brakes overhauled, and suspension bushings and components updated, ensuring that nearly 90% of the car's parts were replaced or restored, predominantly using original Fiat pieces.

Come check out this beautifully restored 1971 Fiat Jolly, a true testament to Italian heritage and craftsmanship, available now.
