FIAT 500 JOLLY CONVERSION

A$110,000 RM SOTHEBYS, LOT 216

WITH RESPECT to all you Bambino owners out there, this is a hell of a lot for one, no matter how jolly it is. It's a faithful replica 1960s "Jolly" conversion, which the auctioneer reckons had 1000 hours of restoration behind it, generally by high-profile shops. That includes the obvious need for reinforcing and all that correct wickerwork. All done to exacting standards, apparently. You can only hope it would be so much fun out on the seaside on a sunny day that you'd forget what it cost.
