Fiat 500 Jolly Street 1959 by Spark
How about this as an antidote for all
those race cars? Ghia modified various
small Fiats (and a few Minis) during the
1950s and 1960s to create these beach
cars. The original vehicles were usually
used either by the wealthy individuals
as yacht tenders or on their estates or
as courtesy vehicles for hotels, nearly
always on the Meditteranean coasts.
This charming model depicts one of the cars without its canvas top but shows off
the chrome grab rails that were usually fitted and the wicker seats superbly.

About Spark
The range which changed the 1:43 model market and for which we coined the term 'resincast'. Resin rather than traditional diecast bodies mean that relatively short production runs can be made and what might be marginal subjects become viable. Quality is very consistent with plenty of fine etch used where necessary. A huge range is the result, covering all aspects of (mostly postwar) motorsport and a wide variety of road cars. We typically see around 30 new subjects released per month and pre-orders are strongly recommended. Made in China & Madagascar.
