Vehicle description

This 1961 Autobianchi Bianchina Trasformabile Special is one of 1,500 examples imported to the US and was originally sold in Chicago before moving to Nebraska, where it remained garage stored for nearly three decades. The car is equipped with a 499cc 2-cylinder paired with a 4-speed manual transmission and recently replaced items include the tires, brakes, shocks, interior upholstery, and more. This Trasformabile has had two owners prior to spending a year in California with the myself, a marque specialist. Light blue paintwork has been renewed and was recently cut and polished. Areas of contrasting white show evidence of an older finish. Color-matched wheels wear polished hub caps and fresh bias-ply wide whitewall tires. Exterior brightwork has been reconditioned throughout, and new taillight lenses have been installed. The sliding fabric top is demonstrated both open and closed in photos, which also show the condition of its plastic rear window. The forward trunk holds the fuel tank as well as an original-style jack and spare wheel. The car has been taken out for monthly drives during its 30-year storage in Nebraska. Matching blue upholstery was recently refreshed, and contrasts with white paneling on the rear-hinged doors. Custom carpeted mats are fitted over original-style rubber floor coverings. Just under 41k miles are shown on the 5-digit odometer. This 499cc air-cooled “Special” twin was rated at 21 horsepower from the factory-three more than the standard engine offered. Recently installed items include new spark plugs, ignition points, oil return tubes, thermostat, and a rebuilt carburetor. A valve job was performed, the electrical system was checked over, and the fuel tank was refurbished. New gaskets were fitted on the oil pan and valve cover. Recent work also included installation of fresh brake lines, drums, and pads. New shocks were fitted at each corner along with replacement bump stops and CV boots. Additional photos can be provided to highlight the overall condition of the undercarriage and any other part of the vehicle. Call for any further questions
