1968 riley elf jolly

US$57,500.00 The beach car phenomenon of the late 1950s is often credited to Gianni Agnelli, the playboy grandson of Fiat founder Giovanni Agnelli. While it was Agnelli who made it popular, the idea is said to have originated with Ghia’s Gigi Segre. Whilst on holiday, Segre noticed big taxis lumbering around the streets of the island of Capri. He thought something more whimsical and stylish would add a dose of fun and practicality to island life. He sketched out a solution that started with a Fiat Cinquecento, which Ghia then modified for summer duty by first reinforcing the body and lopping off the roof. But no mere convertible, the car was further modified by replacing the doors with a cut-down, step through body sides. Wicker seats were installed should occupants be fresh from a swim in the Mediterranean and a whimsical surrey top provided shade. Combined with the original styling of the tiny Fiat, the “Jolly” beach car was a fun and adorable exercise. It did not find much favor with buyers at first, however. But such was the influence of the young Gianni Agnelli, that when a newspaper published a photo of him in his new Fiat Jolly on the Italian Riviera, the public went mad and Jollys began to sell, as suddenly anybody who was somebody needed to be seen driving one of Ghia’s delightful little buggies.Ghia offered a variety of versions mainly built on the Fiat 500 and 600 chassis. There was also a Jolly built on the Renault 4CV (probably to appease French Riviera dwellers) and even the Fiat Multipla. Other coachbuilders and manufacturers got the bug and tried their hands at the cheeky little beach cars, with variations popping up using the Austin Mini and Volkswagen Beetle as their base. VW even went so far...

1913 rolls-royce silver ghost sports tourer

US$895,000.00 The Rolls-Royce 40/50hp “Silver Ghost” made its spectacular debut in 1907, recognized almost immediately as the finest motorcar money could buy. At the heart of the 40/50hp was Henry Royce’s impressively powerful and reliable 7,428cc side-valve inline-six. In its day, the inline-six configuration was considered a folly as competitors could not cope with the issue of long, flexing crankshafts....

Engineers made a great deal of...
