1966 | Autobianchi Bianchina Panoramica

Fantastic Autobianchi Bianchina Panoramica. A charming little car with a far too long name, which used to be only possible in Italy. Owned by a German collector for a long time and excellently maintained. Delivered new in Italy and fitted with the original Libretto with stamps. The Dutch owner has recently done everything thoroughly, both technically and cosmetically. Everything done for his own use, so carried out with care and attention.

The design is typically 60s Italian: stylish and with an eye for detail. A poor man's Lancia. Even small cars were beautiful back then. Based on the 500 Giardiniera, but more exclusive. Intended as a low-cost compact family car. But thanks to its longer wheelbase and flat 2 cylinder engine, the Panoramico has remarkable space. The Bianchina was very popular then and now sought after by collectors.

The exterior looks very clean. In the past, the Bianchina has been repainted in the original colour ‘Bianco 233’ and it is excellently done. Over time, some signs of use have obviously appeared. The complete bottom and the mudguards were recently stripped bare and treated with RX. So all weak spots have been carefully addressed in the Netherlands and the car looks very cool. The rims have also been newly painted and fitted with four brand new tyres. The paint has just been professionally polished and has a very nice shine.

The interior is in very clean condition. The dashboard has been left original and looks nice including the nice gold-coloured speedometer with petrol gauge. The seats and fold-down rear seat were newly upholstered in the past with the correct skai upholstery and everything is in one piece. The headlining and carpets also look surprisingly good. All well cared for and beautiful in simplicity.

The rare Panoramica has thus been well maintained and invoices worth €1,100 are available for inspection. Driving the car is therefore excellent, the flat twin strikes instantly and there is enough torque for a relaxed driving style. Steering and shifting are light and easy. And a strong point: costs are low! Technically, it is a Fiat 500, so the engineering is simple and proven reliable. Parts are ultra cheap and excellently available. That's fun driving without stress.

Ideally suited as a company car/promotion for your shop or business. Very charming, very modest and with a high level of cuddliness. The price is also modest, as something nice under 10K is almost impossible to find. When was the last time you saw a Bianchina Panoramica driving?
