The Lancia Jolly was a light commercial vehicle produced by the Italian vehicle manufacturer Lancia between 1959 and 1963. In four years, 3011 units were produced.[1]

The low-loading Jolly was based on the third series of the Appia passenger car, and was first presented alongside it in early 1959.[2] Its predecessors had used the Appia bodywork, including the front doors, but for the Jolly, Lancia decided to use a cab over design instead.[2] It was available with van or pick-up bodywork. An entirely different version with a bigger engine using Flavia mechanicals, called the Super Jolly, replaced it in 1964.[3]

The code name of the Jolly was 809.

In 2025, Iveco revealed the Iveco Jolly and Iveco SuperJolly, reusing the name of the Lancia vehicle.[4]

Technical characteristics

The Jolly was powered by a four-cylinder, 1,090 cc engine producing 36.5 hp (26.8 kW). The maximum speed was 97 km/h (60 mph).

It was 4,595 mm (180.9 in) long, 1,815 mm (71.5 in) wide, with a height of 1,902 mm (74.9 in). It weighed 1,500 kg (3,300 lb).
