1971 Fiat 500 Jolly, American version replica

1971 Fiat 500 Description:

VIN: 2801799
This 1971 Fiat 500 has been restored and modified in the style of the American “Jolly” model, to include the larger “bug eye” headlights that were necessary for it to be allowed in the US at the time.
We believe it to the be the first ever made other than the original ones from the late 60's.
The wicker upholstery is hand woven in Italy by a local craftsman to replicate the Jolly style.
The carpeting is hand made to our specifications
The engine has been completely rebuilt, and the wire harness is new.
The entire shell was sandblasted and all new sheet metal was installed and welded in place. We have more than 200 pictures documenting the entire restoration!
We also added a Bluetooth radio housed in the center of the console surrounded by a cabinet designed by our team to fit with the look of the car. The radio, centre console, hat tray, and knee pad are made of mahogany wood.
The external chrome bars are made of marine grade steel and are also hand-made in Italy.
Look at the pictures to get an idea of the level of the restoration that was carried out. We have over 200 images documenting the entire process, Ebay limits us to 24!
This gorgeous Jolly America Version is practically NEW! About 90% of its parts have been replaced.
Many of said parts are original and correct Fiat parts, as well as the nuts and bolts, you can see them in many of the photos.
The work carried is really comprehensive and hard to list. We invite interested parties to look carefully at the images and ask any questions.
It's painted in “Celeste Crociera”, which translates to Cruise Cèleste, what better name?! The rim color matches the car.
The trim on the hood is made with a specially built steel piece, the canvas is made with waterproof outdoor fabric, and we've added a sheet of Plexiglass below it to make it more resistant to weather and wind. The canvas top and it's tubular frame are easily removable.
The side ropes are in nautical Juta and don't fear the elements: this Jolly doesn't just look good, but is tons of fun to drive too.
The vehicle is in close to being NEW, with some subtle upgrades to make it more usable today as a great beach hopper, ice cream raider or just to be the talk of the car show.
