01 / THE STORY

History & context

The Fiat 750 Jolly Abarth is a truly unique vehicle, distinguished by its cream paintwork and full wicker interior. It is powered by a 750cc 4-cylinder engine paired with a 4-speed manual gearbox. This delightful car stands out as the only Fiat Jolly ever ordered from Ghia with an Abarth 750 engine, making it a one-of-a-kind example in automotive history. This particular Jolly has a remarkable provenance, having remained in the same family’s ownership since it was ordered new in 1958. Over the decades, it has been meticulously preserved, remaining absolutely original in every respect. It has covered less than 22,000 kilometers since new, a testament to its careful stewardship and limited use. Mechanically, the Fiat 750 Jolly Abarth runs, drives, and operates flawlessly, showcasing the robust engineering and quality craftsmanship typical of both Fiat and Abarth. The car’s history is well-documented, with a comprehensive file that includes sundry invoices, documents, and the original registration book, adding to its authenticity and historical value. Currently part of the esteemed Stuart Parr Collection, this 750 Jolly Abarth represents a rare blend of Italian style and performance. Its charming design, highlighted by the wicker seats and open-air layout, captures the essence of carefree motoring in the late 1950s. The involvement of Abarth, known for tuning and enhancing performance, adds an exciting dimension to this already unique car. The Fiat 750 Jolly Abarth is not just a vehicle but a piece of automotive history, cherished by its owners and admired by enthusiasts. Its impeccable condition and unique specifications make it a standout example of mid-century Italian automotive design and engineering.
