AUTOBIANCHI LUTECE

AUTOBIANCHI LUTECE Brand : Autobianchi Model : Lutece Date of registration : 1968 Mileage : 50 805 km (5 digit counter) The model - The Bianchina appeared in September 1957, only two months after the presentation of the Fiat 500. - It was the first model of this brand created in 1955 by a collaboration between the Bianchi family, former motorcycle and truck manufacturers, Pirelli and Fiat. - It has existed in several versions, from the sedan through the convertible and the station wagon to the van. - Technically, the Bianchina is a Cinquecento. Same chassis, same rear-mounted 479 cc engine developing 21 hp. - However, the differences in design are obvious, as the Autobianchi's design is very angular. - This first model of the Autobianchi brand was more intended for a female public of the Italian high society. The Berline F model, named Lutèce in France, is relatively rare, produced only between 1965 and 1969 at 38,500 units. It is in fact the 4-seater version of the Bianchina, 3m02 long. The car - The car we offer for sale is a 1968 Autobianchi Bianchina Lutece coach with a 5-digit odometer showing 50,800 kilometers. - It is a 2nd hand car that its current owner has owned for 33 years (1988). It is in a rather healthy original condition but it deserves a complete paint and general overhaul. - The specialist noted the presence of surface corrosion. Whether it is under the body or on the bodywork, or even on the chromes which show some pitting. - If the car is drivable, it still needs a small overhaul. The battery being out of order and the tank empty, our specialist could not start it. It is indeed a car that does not run much, and was stored in the owner's barn. - Its black leatherette interior is original despite a few accidents, including a major cut on the front passenger seat. - Note that the clutch, fuel pump and brakes are new and the tires have less than 3,000 km. - For more information, go to the technical sheet, consult the inspection report or contact our team. Score : 80 / 100 A car in the hands of its current owner for many years. An opportunity for sure.
