Highlights
- Only two former registered keepers, with the second being an Autobianchi collector since 2014
- Original 80,000 km, according to the vendor
- Original Macerata registration plate, always remained in the province
- Well-preserved original condition, never restored
- Dual-fuel system (petrol/methane) installed in 1998
The Appeal
Much like Britain's Mini, the Autobianchi A112 combines compact dimensions with practical design and spirited performance. This 1974 second series model is particularly appealing as a base version with the 903cc four-cylinder engine, offering the purest expression of the A112 concept.
What makes this specific example worthy of consideration is its remarkable originality and provenance - having had just two careful owners, with the current owner being an Autobianchi collector since 2014. The vehicle has never undergone restoration but instead has been meticulously preserved, maintaining its authentic character while accumulating just 80,000 original kilometres.
