AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

IN HIGHLIGHT:
• Iconic Autobianchi Bianchina Cabriolet (Eden Roc) from 1968
• Odometer reading of 85,265 km
• Interiors preserved in biscotto-colored leather/pleather
• Braking system renewed with new bushings and brake pump
• Latest ministry inspection performed on May 27, 2026 with a regular result (valid until May 2028)
• Equipped with a retractable top, rear chrome luggage rack and a vintage wooden trunk

HISTORY/PANORAMA:
The Autobianchi Bianchina Cabriolet, also known as "Eden Roc," is one of the most famous symbols of design and the Italian dolce vita of the 1960s. Built on the proven mechanical basis of the Fiat 500, it stands out for its elegant lines and refined finishes. This example was first registered in 1968 and shows 85,265 kilometers on the odometer.

BODYWORK/PAINT:
The body presents in a glossy red color. As visible in the photographs, the exterior paint maintains excellent overall gloss, though it shows light signs of aging and small wear imperfections on some chrome profiles and moldings. The front headlights and lenses are well preserved. The car is fitted with period tires accented by the distinctive white sidewalls and is equipped with a rear chrome luggage rack complete with a wooden trunk.

INTERIOR:
The interior is well preserved and finished in biscotto tone. The seats show a patina consistent with the age and originality of the vehicle, without significant tears. The dashboard is matched to the body color with the upper part covered in black material; the original instrumentation and the two-spoke steering wheel are intact. The black carpets and floor mats complete the cabin.

MECHANICS:
The car is equipped with the classic air‑cooled 499.5 cc flat-twin rear engine, paired with a 4-speed manual transmission. The mechanicals are ready for use and the car is running. A recent maintenance intervention included a full service and renewal of the braking system with replacement of the brake pump and the rubber bushings. From the underbody photos, the chassis appears visually sound.

DOCUMENTS:
The car is supplied with Italian documents in order for the transfer of ownership. The latest ministry inspection was passed with a regular result on May 27, 2026 and is valid until May 2028.

The car is located in Italy and can be viewed by appointment. Costs related to the transfer of ownership or deregistration procedures for export are entirely the buyer's responsibility.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. 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. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. 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. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
