FIAT 500 SPIAGGINA

What is it?

Four years into the original 500’s life, there came the 500 Jolly, aka the Spiaggina. Sold between 1958 and 1965, the 22bhp model didn’t even have doors and cost twice as much as the standard car. Genius. Now, to mark the 500’s 60th birthday, it’s reborn thanks to Garage Italia and Pininfarina. Based on a 500C, there’s one roll bar, no roof rails and a loading bay covered in cork panelling... You can even order it with a low-cut windscreen. Like a speedboat.

Can I buy one?

Yes, we said ‘order’. This isn’t a concept – it’s going into production, available with any engine in the 500 range.
