Fiat Jolly(?)? Seems I've seen these before on a couple of Velocity shows (before they became Motor Trend TV).

 

Yep, a Jolly.

 

Cool deal bro.

I never seen one but there is an old timer here in my neighborhood that has a golf cart with a vintage VW body style.
It's not a real VW, just a replica made of fiberglass and scaled down and stuck on a golf cart.

 

That's amazing! You got it. I thought I might stump folks here on that one. Apparently there were only a few hundred of these made.

 

No.....that looks more like an early-model Fiat 500 "Topolino" body. It was an Italian super-economy car that competed with Britain's Mini, France's Citroen 2CV and Renault 4CV, and Germany's VW Beetle.

Fiat sold a modern version of the 500, here in the U.S., until its importation was canceled recently.

 

They ain’t cheap either.

That one is actually on the low side. I read something that was saying they typically average somewhere in the low $70k range at auctions, with some that have gone for around 6 figures. Crazy.

 

The car in the link looks CHERRY but dang, that's a lot of money.

Maybe because it is super rare.

 

I saw this the other day near my house.

Full disclaimer, I have no idea what it is but it looked new.

 

That's a Polaris Slingshot!

 

I saw a 6 passenger Slingshot a couple of months ago.....

 

Talk about completely missing the point. I'm sure it handles fantastically with a super-long wheelbase and one rear tire. And is blisteringly fast with 173hp (or 203hp) driving 6 people around.

 

I'll agree that having only three wheels always compromises stability, but having two wheels up front and only one on back is probably preferable to the opposite, like on a Robin Reliant. Here, Jeremy Clarkson shows just how easy it is to flip over a Reliant, even at relatively low speeds.

 

Can it still be called a "Slingshot" with 6 passengers?

That may be a reach. lol

3 Wheelers with a single wheel in the front is very dangerous.

Me and my wife have many biker friends and one of them lost their life a few years ago.

The friend was an experienced driver and she "Triked" her bike by doing a Trike kit on her Harley.

This just meas they took a normal Harley and made the back single wheel into a double wheel aka a 3 wheeler.

She lost control at an exit ramp and that was all it took.

May her memory rest in peace.

PS- I like the single tire on the back idea better but I'd rather have 4 wheels on something like this Slingshot lol

 

Here's a classic, folks.........


Hint: This came out when I was in high school
