1961 Renault 4CV 'Jolly' beach car (Ghia-style coachwork)

Colour
Red

A 1961 Renault 4CV fitted with extremely rare Jolly-style open beach-car coachwork, one of an estimated 50 such conversions believed to have been carried out on the 4CV platform rather than the more typical Fiat 500 or 600. The Jolly concept originated with Italian coachbuilder Ghia as a compact hotel and resort runabout; this example presents in red with a striped fabric surrey top, wicker seating, and whitewall tyres, and has undergone a cosmetic restoration to its current condition.

This car's public record is built from its auction and competition history. Register your ownership and privately add your own records to make it a verified Legacy Metrics passport — provenance that backs your car's value at sale and gives your insurer evidence to price against. Roy reviews and verifies every registration personally.

Each chassis record is compiled from public auction archives and links to its source material. Ownership, competition and maintenance entries are extracted from those catalogue listings by an LLM, which can make mistakes — please contact us with any corrections. The summary is Legacy Metrics’ own writing; we do not reproduce catalogue text.

“Full” and “partial” documentation labels indicate how well each entry is corroborated in the underlying sources, not an audit of the car’s physical paperwork. Names of recent or living owners are withheld for privacy.
