The Mini Mokes was perhaps the most loved sun
buggy of the 60's, 70's and even the 80's. What sealed its success was
the simple lack of doors. The convenience of jumping in and out of a
car without opening doors and then the added bonus of driving around
topless made it very appealing.
Today, riding on that success,
Fiat have created the Fiat Jolly Panda. Although it sounds like a
Japanese game show, this car is a successful remake of all the things
that made the Moke a hit. The FJP was first launched over summer where
it was used to ferry VIP's on the island of Capri.
With
the interiors created by Italian design co. Paolo Lenti who specialize
in the use of innovative fabrics, the FJP looks stylishly sixties from
within. On the outside, the car has been designed with nontoxic
and UV ray resistant materials, centered around a simple structural
design which makes the car appear almost seamless. It's simplicity is
its beauty, with an added element of fun throughout the design. by Andy G
