Fiat Shelette - 1970
Coachwork by Michelotti
Michelotti had already presented a similar beach car on a DAF 32 basis, the Alassio, later renamed Kini and offered to the Dutch royal family in 1967. The Shelette or Spiaggetta was mostly based on a Fiat 850 platform, but a few used a DAF 32 platform. The name Shelette refers to Philip Schell, a yacht builder who initiated the project, by ordering in 1968 a beach car that should refine and modernize the Jolly concept, which was mostly based on Fiat 500 or 600 models. The Shelette was one of the few cars that Michelotti built and marketed under its own brand name. Around 80 were produced.
