Lancia Superjolly

The Lancia Superjolly was a light commercial vehicle built by Lancia in Turin from 1963 to 1970 as the successor of the Appia-based Jolly, first shown at the 1964 Geneva Motor Show. It shared its engine and some mechanicals with the Flavia, with front-wheel drive and independent suspension that kept the loading floor very low, at most 482 mm, and was offered as a van, pick-up, ambulance and bus, plus a motorhome and a display truck; the Italian post office used it. The 1.5 litre flat-four gave 58 CV (43 kW), and from late 1966 a 1.8 litre unit with 80.5 CV was added, with a fuel-injected 102 CV version rare. Production totalled 2,948, 1,674 of the first model and 1,272 of the 1.8 litre. The Fiat 238 of 1966 began its decline, and the Superjolly ended in 1970.
