Autobianchi Bianchina Lutèce 1970 – Restored – Full service/ maintenance file
Passionate about classic cars, I’m offering for sale this Autobianchi Bianchina Lutèce, first registered on 25 February 1970. It’s now a rare find on the French market and is much appreciated by enthusiasts of collectible Italian vehicles.
I’m only parting with this Bianchina because my motoring projects are moving towards longer trips. I’d now like to acquire a collection car that’s better suited to this type of use. This sale is therefore driven purely by my changing needs.
This Bianchina stands out for the quality of its maintenance and the documentation file that comes with it. While I don’t have its complete history from its very first registration in 1970, the car does benefit from documented follow-up for nearly thirty years, including numerous invoices for servicing, repairs and restoration. The whole package is a true maintenance and history record, which will be handed to its future owner.
The main specifications are:
• First registration: 25 February 1970
• Petrol engine
• Manual gearbox
• 42, 000 km on the clock
Over the years, the vehicle has had many jobs carried out by professionals. The key interventions include:
• Major bodywork restoration, metalwork and paint
• Mechanical overhaul
• New upholstery
• Replacement of many wear-and-tear parts
• Regular servicing
After I bought the car from Classic Automobiles Toulouse, a specialist in classic vehicles, a major mechanical service was carried out to put it back on a perfectly sound basis (around €1, 800; invoice available). Today, the car is ready to drive immediately and requires no particular work.
The future owner will receive a particularly comprehensive file including in particular:
• Numerous servicing invoices from the 1990s onwards;
• Invoices for the restoration work;
• Successive MOT/ technical inspection reports;
• Invoices for recent work;
• The purchase invoice from Classic Automobiles Toulouse;
• Various technical documents showing the car’s history.
This file runs to several dozen pages covering nearly thirty years of the car’s life. Beyond its looks, this Bianchina’s real appeal is the fact it has been regularly maintained and properly documented over many years.
It was precisely this quality of care and documentation that led me to buy it from Classic Automobiles Toulouse, a professional specialising in classic vehicles. Since purchasing it, I’ve continued the same approach to maintenance and preservation.
Today, it’s a healthy example, ready to use straight away, and supplied with a documentation file that’s rarely so complete for a car of this age.
The vehicle is visible in Castanet-Tolosan (31). A test drive can be arranged with someone who is genuinely interested. I’ll gladly respond to requests for additional information and can also provide further photos of the car as well as the documentation file. I prefer a phone call with people who are genuinely interested. Obviously unrealistic offers will not receive a reply.
Price: €12, 500
