Descrição
Autobianchi Bianchina Transformabile: A Cabriolet associated with the Hotel Eden Roc and Brigitte Bardot The name Eden Roc on certain versions of the Autobianchi Bianchina Cabriolet is inspired by the elegance and exclusivity associated with Mediterranean luxury, particularly in relation to the Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc in Antibes, an iconic location frequented by many celebrities in the 1950s and 60s. Brigitte Bardot played an important role in the model's popularity. An Autobianchi Bianchina Cabriolet was given to her by André Chardonnet, the brand's French importer, and the car was featured on the front cover of Jours de France, the fashionable magazine of the day. The Bianchina Eden Roc, the result of a collaboration between Fiat and Autobianchi, is a luxurious and distinctive interpretation of the legendary Fiat 500.
Designed to appeal to customers in search of refinement and driving pleasure, this 1969 cabriolet version embodies compact elegance, ideal for summer escapades or relaxed city strolls. A design full of charm and practicality With its reduced dimensions (only 3. 02 metres long), the Bianchina Eden Roc stands out for its meticulous aesthetics.
The fully retractable soft top reveals a bright, welcoming interior designed to maximise the pleasure of driving with your hair blowing in the wind, while the body features the rounded lines typical of the 60s, punctuated by elegant chrome details. An iconic and sought-after model Produced in just 3150 examples, the Bianchina Eden Roc has become a veritable collector's item, prized for its timeless charm and rarity. This 1969 model is one of the last witnesses to an era when motoring combined mechanical simplicity with aesthetic elegance.
It is powered by the 004 Sport 499 cm3, 21 bhp engine, an evolution of the Fiat 500 engine with improved performance and more dynamic handling.
