The Autobianchi Bianchina debuted in 1957 as a more stylish, upscale version of the Fiat 500. It used the 500's reliable air-cooled 2-cylinder engine and chassis but wrapped them in more elegant bodywork. The first model was the Trasformabile, which had a fixed B-pillar and a full-length fabric sunroof, followed by the highly desirable Cabriolet, the Panoramica wagon, and a Berlina sedan.
Collectors are drawn to the Bianchina's charming Italian design and its mechanical simplicity. Its connection to the iconic Fiat 500 means that most mechanical parts are readily available and affordable, making it a relatively easy classic to own. The open-top Cabriolet is the most sought-after model, commanding a premium for its style and rarity.
The market for the Bianchina is well-established, with an average price of around $17,600. There's a significant value difference between body styles and conditions. A concours-quality Cabriolet can exceed $40,000, while a project car or a less popular Berlina can be found for much less.
Buying Tips
- Rust is the primary concern for any Bianchina. Carefully inspect the floor pans, sills, and suspension mounting points for corrosion.
- The engine is a simple Fiat unit, but check for common oil leaks from the pushrod tubes and case seams. Blue exhaust smoke can signal worn piston rings.
- Cabriolets are the most valuable models. Be sure to verify a car's authenticity, as some Trasformabiles have been converted. Check the VIN to confirm the original body style.
- Unique trim pieces, badges, and interior components can be very difficult to source. Check that the car is complete, as finding missing parts can be a challenge.
