The ‘beach car’ concept originated in 1950s Italy and was most famously embodied by Ghia’s ‘Jolly’. It transformed basic saloons like FIAT’s 500 and 600 into conspicuous indicators of wealth and found favor as leisure transport for the rich and famous on the Italian and French Riviera. The Jolly had no doors, wickerwork seats, and was only practical for leisure purposes, making it a symbol of affluence. A modern interpretation of the Jolly, based on a FIAT 500, was created by an Italian carrozzeria, with a reinforced open body, steel seats covered in wicker, marine style woodwork, and chromework. This Jolly is powered by a 1.2-litre petrol engine, registered in the European Union, and is in excellent condition.
