Wow what a rig it reminds me of the moke,,hahaha love the seats






Pretty cool little buggy hey.1960 Fiat Jolly,I'de say they would be very rare to find these days,no idea how many they made though,I'de own it,haha




Don't know if it would meet rego requirements.

Awesome bit of gear though.

Hey ET,i know what you mean mate but this pic is of the owners garage in the USA,I'm not sure of their rules.Although if it was in Australia it would pass rego only if he hasn't modified it,if it is done to factory specs,it would pass the requirements easily.My wagon has no seat belts in the rear as it didn't have them from factory,I could put some in for safety reasons but I don't have to by NSW rego requirements!...

Cool ET,nice pics,would of been a great holiday mate Did you know that the Fiat Toppolino's were widely used by drag racing drivers in the late 50's and 60s because they where so light,they also looked the part with blown big blocks and big slicks under the ass!.
Geez that wagon is fairly rare over here but there's probably heaps of them in Italy?,don't see to many of them?...

Very cool , a school mates family had a couple of Citroens back in the early 80's. They had a ds I think and aCX Pallas? Which was styled the same but a lot newer, both were sedans. They were so different to the Holdens that I was use to in every way, self leveling suspension, a rotating drum thingy for a speedo,the CX even had a/c

Hey SRrat,yeah it's amazing what we remember when we where younger hey, all the old cars and what they had,I remember hating these Citroens when I was a kid ,I was a diehard Holden man ,so most other makes I didn't like.Those Citroens looked like a bloody big lizard to me but now I'm liking some of them,like that ute,looks cool to me
