02Production & history

Production

Every figure says what it counts.

What is countedFigureBasisStatus
Total model productionLancia Jolly vans produced until the Superjolly took over, citing the book "Camion Lancia" (Fondazione Negri) 3,0111 Factory production Independently researched

Independent counts (e.g. engine and colour) are never combined into a calculated figure. Surviving examples are never presented as original production.

History

Introduced in spring 1959 to replace the Appia-based van, the Jolly was built until 1963. Its successor, the Superjolly, took over in 1964 as a front-drive van derived from the Flavia with a 1.5-litre engine. Outside Italy the Jolly was little known.
