Beschreibung
One of the smallest convertibles ever made, the Autobianchi Bianchina Convertible became popular due to an advertisement with Brigitte Bardot on the pages of the Jours de France. Unbelievably fun driving, the handsome convertible flew off the boards. Total production 8087 pieces.
Also known as the Eden Roc in France, was loved by celebrities around the world. HSH Prince Rainier III of Monaco was featured in one, along with Hollywood director George Lucas and speed devils Burt Richmond and Simona De Silvestro. In the past, the only option available for good weather was to control the Transformabile, which had a fixed B-pillar and a large canvas roof. This new cabriolet abolished the B-pillar and created a real open cabriolet. Other changes were the addition of the new 21. 5-hp Fiat engine, which increased the top speed to 100 / h - perfect for zippers around Paris and suburbs.
For the collector who is looking for a nice car to cruise around the French Riviera or to sip through city traffic, this Autobianchi Bianchina Cabriolet is the perfect option.
The Bianchina convertible was shown for the first time at the Geneva motor show. Later an introduction took place in the surroundings of Saint Tropez in the majestic hotel Eden Roc where Brigitte Bardort stayed. Her spontaneous cooperation with the introduction of this small car has certainly contributed to its success and hence the addition "eden roc" to the type designation.
