The seller offers for sale this 1964 Autobianchi Bianchina Panoramica, powered by a 495 cc two-cylinder petrol engine, paired with a manual transmission. This example has been restored, with the engine completely dismantled and rebuilt, and the electrics and ignition renewed as part of the work. The interior has also been renewed, and the chassis has been treated and presents well. Finished in a delightful light blue, this Bianchina Panoramica comes with a valid inspection and offers a characterful classic that is ready to be enjoyed.
Autobianchi was founded in 1955 as a joint venture between Bianchi, Fiat and Pirelli, and quickly carved out a niche building more luxurious and stylish variants of Fiat’s small-car platforms. The Bianchina, launched in 1957 on the mechanicals of the Fiat 500, became the marque’s defining model. The Panoramica, introduced in 1960, is the practical estate version of the family: its lengthened roofline, large glass area and fold-flat rear seat turned the tiny city car into a surprisingly versatile companion, while the rear-mounted air-cooled twin-cylinder engine kept running costs charmingly low.
Today the Bianchina Panoramica stands out at any classic gathering. It combines the mechanical simplicity and club support of the Fiat 500 with far rarer and arguably more elegant coachwork, and its compact dimensions make it as usable in town today as it was in 1960s Italy. Restored examples are increasingly sought after by collectors of Italian microcars, and this car’s rebuilt engine and refreshed interior make it an appealing, ready-to-use entry into that world.
