1962 Fiat 600 D Jolly (Ghia conversion)
A 1962 Fiat 600 D converted by Carrozzeria Ghia into a 'Jolly' beach car, this example carries an unusually well-documented and charming history. Registered in October 1962, it was immediately dispatched for the Ghia conversion before serving as a promotional vehicle for Italian appliance firm Ignis. It was subsequently gifted at the direction of Fiat president Gianni Agnelli to his personal secretary, who kept the car for 46 years, accumulating fewer than 11,000 km in total.
