Formerly of the famous Wayne Davis Collection, this Jolly has all the attributes of a fresh restoration. The minimal wear reflect a nearly perfect car. The paint and brightwork are of excellent quality. Similarly, the engine compartment and under chassis areas are nearly spotless. It is powered by a 479-cc engine with a four-speed manual transmission. Only the floor mats really show any kind of use, while the wicker seats are nearly indestructible. Only a relative handful of Fiat Jollys were built and even fewer still exist. They were essentially Fiat 600s converted with wicker seats and an optional fringed top for use on large yachts of the rich and famous for dockside transportation. Presented in coral with a matching coral and white surrey top, this example is among the best-quality Jollys in existence, and it remains a joy to admire and a pleasure to drive. And, of course, it is as cute as a button.
