A little bit of history:
The Autobianchi brand was born out of the shared vision of the directors of the Bianchi bicycle company, Mr Agnelli and Mr Pirelli.
Thus was created the brand’s first car: the Bianchina, based on the Fiat 500.
Its bodywork was distinctive, and a convertible named ‘Éden Roc’ was offered by the Chardonnet network from 1964 onwards.
It remained in production until 1969.
Drawing inspiration from the 1950s, its tiny size (3 metres long) gives it a thoroughly charming appearance.
Under the bonnet is Fiat’s 2-cylinder engine, producing a modest 21 cv (which is just as well, given its weight of less than 500 kg).
The model on offer was sold to a collector for 25,000 euros, fully restored, but the restoration was not completed as the garage went into liquidation.
The bodywork has been stripped back to the bare metal.
The bodywork, running gear, mechanical components, tyres, hoses, cables and brakes… are all new or have been refurbished.
The high-quality restoration is 85 per cent complete but needs to be finished.
There are parts left to reassemble (new soft top supplied), cables to connect, the wiring harness to fit, the mechanical components to get up and running again, etc., etc....
A few spare parts, a few missing parts including a window, the rear bench seat and door trim......
This is not an exhaustive list; we invite you to visit the car to see it for yourself and draw up your own list.
As a classic car specialist remarked upon seeing it: what a shame to have stopped so close to the finish line!!!!!!
An Eden Roc with this level of restoration is priced at around 25,000 euros – the price at which it was sold to the collector.
Who would like to finish restoring this French icon?
For an estimated 50 per cent of its value once completed?
