AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

The 1968 Autobianchi Bianchina Panoramica is a relatively rare and affordable classic with character, which, thanks to a recent restoration, is fully ready for a new enthusiast. The Panoramica variant—the station wagon version of the iconic Bianchina—was developed by Autobianchi at the end of the 1950s, a collaboration between Fiat, Bianchi and Pirelli. Whereas the regular Fiat 500 was mainly intended as affordable transport for the general public, Autobianchi positioned the Bianchina as a more elegant and exclusive variant with more luxury and a more fashionable design. Today, the Panoramica is considered one of the most sought-after variants due to the low production numbers and the unique body shape. This example has a mileage of 85,596 kilometers and is registered as a Dutch margin car. The compact dimensions, the distinctive engine sound, and the charming Italian design make this microcar not only a valuable collector’s item but also an absolute crowd-pleaser at events, rallies, or classic summer rallies.

Body and Paint

This vehicle is in a very fine condition and presents itself beautifully in its stylish yellow color scheme. The body of this rare station wagon variant stands out due to its extended wheelbase and its smart, practical design. The exterior features various original and glossy chrome details that emphasize the car’s exclusive character, including chrome bumpers at the front and rear, chrome mirrors, and the original chrome hubcaps. The paintwork and body panels are in a very clean and well-maintained condition thanks to the restoration.

Technical

Under the loading floor lies the original, rear-mounted and flat-four 500cc twin-cylinder longitudinal engine. This engine delivers 22 hp and has the desired matching-numbers status. The flat layout of the engine was a technical tour de force at the time, allowing this microcar to offer surprisingly practical luggage space. The powertrain is paired with a four-speed manual transmission. The technology, largely shared with the Fiat 500 Giardiniera, is known for its simplicity and high fun factor. The vehicle is technically road-ready and is supplied with a spare wheel.

Interior

The interior exudes pure Italian charm and offers the extra luxury that Autobianchi was known for. The cabin is equipped with a beautiful leather interior and comfortable leather seats that pair perfectly with the yellow body color. Thanks to the clever flat-engine-in-the-back design, the cargo space is optimally utilized, which was unique in this compact class. The entire interior was renovated with attention to detail and is in a fresh and very well-maintained condition.

Documents

The Autobianchi is equipped with valid Italian registration papers, which means the car is currently road-ready. Due to the vehicle’s historic age, there is no COC (certificate of conformity) required for registration within Europe, making any import to another European country very straightforward. For necessary identification and administrative checks, the car’s chassis number (VIN) is 120B157519. The vehicle is supplied complete with two sets of keys.

Collection

The car can be viewed and collected in Schiedam, the Netherlands. To offer potential buyers full transparency, all technical inspections, extensive viewings, and test drives prior to bidding are warmly possible. After the auction, the seller can optionally assist with organizing worldwide transport and the associated logistics.

Other Information

Today, restored Panoramic models are highly sought after by collectors of Italian classics and microcars. Since the accompanying photos are an essential part of the description, interested parties are invited to study them carefully to gain a good impression of the refined restoration and the overall condition of this beautiful Autobianchi. For any additional questions, you can always contact the auctioneer.

However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road.

The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration.
