Oeuvre du brillant ingénieur Dante Giacosa et héritière de la fameuse Topolino, la Fiat 600 a été présentée en mars 1955 au Salon de Genève. Elle devient dès les premières saisons une base idéale pour les plus talentueux carrossiers Italiens. La version Jolly a été construite à la demande de Gianni Agnelli par la Carrosserie GHIA. Elle a été produite en quantité très limitée, en supprimant beaucoup d’éléments au profit d’un dais en toile et de sièges en rotin. A vocation de loisirs, la Jolly a servi aux propriétaires de yatchs dans les ports d’accueil, ou comme véhicule de plage. Très prisée des stars, elle demeure l’un des symboles de la Dolce Vita.
Homogène, l’exemplaire présenté a visiblement fait l’objet il y a quelques années d’une restauration de qualité, tant au niveau carrosserie que mécanique. Il n’a que peu été utilisé depuis.
The Fiat 600 was a creation of the brilliant engineer Dante Giacosa and the successor of the famous Topolino. It was shown for the first time in March 1955 at the Geneva Fair.
From its first season it became an ideal base for the most talented Italian coachbuilders.
The Jolly version was manufactured at the request of Gianni Agnelli by Carrosserie GHIA.
It was produced in a very limited edition, removing many elements and installing a canvas canopy and rattan seats.
The Jolly is for leisure use, and was used by yacht owners in home ports or as a beach vehicle.
It was highly appreciated by stars and remains one of the symbols of the Dolce Vita.
The presented car is harmonious and it is clear that it was restored to a high standard a few years ago, both in terms of its bodywork and mechanically.
It has been little used since this time
