• Recent respray in metallic blue, and fresh new interior throughout

This is a charming and beautifully presented 1972 Fiat 500, converted to the iconic open top Jolly style and recently treated to an extensive programme of cosmetic refurbishment and mechanical recommissioning. Finished in a light metallic blue, the car has benefited from a complete exterior respray, and fresh chromework. The interior has been tastefully retrimmed in cream leather with contrasting blue piping, complemented by fresh blue carpeting. The combination works beautifully with the exterior colour and gives the car a smart, luxurious feel while retaining all the charm and simplicity that makes these little Fiats so appealing. Mechanically, the engine which is an uprated 650cc unit has been thoroughly gone through and is running very healthily, with a number of new components fitted as part of the car's recent restoration. The result is a particularly attractive and freshly renovated example, ready to be enjoyed and admired. With its distinctive roofless Jolly style coachwork, this Fiat would make a delightful addition to a private collection or a charming summer runabout. Equally at home on the French riviera where many Formula 1 drivers own and use similar examples. This example offers enormous visual appeal and character and is ready to be enjoyed.

An incredibly charismatic little car, presented in a fabulous colour combination and benefitting from significant recent expenditure. Accompanied by a sizeable history file detailing the recent work totalling over £10,000, various parts invoices, and its current V5 registration document. Driven to the sale by the current owner, this is a wonderful opportunity to acquire something genuinely fun, distinctive and full of Italian charm. Consigned by Daniel Godin
