In this Liefhebber Wanted we don’t look at an old acquaintance from the 80s or 90s. We go a little further back in time and delve into a more obscure corner. We say ‘corner’, because it is quite difficult to avoid diminutives when seeing this Autobianchi Panoramica. The legendary status of the Fiat 500 goes a lot further than just that of the ‘backpack’ itself. After all, various other, often equally cuddly cars were developed on its basis, including the Autobianchi Bianchina. This Panoramica is in turn a derivative of this. In essence it is a Bianchina station wagon. Because of its size, it is just a little longer than 3 meters, and its 500-cc air-cooled twin-cylinder engine, which produces only 21 hp, it is difficult to call the Panoramica impressive. Nevertheless, this Autobianchi (especially as a convertible called Transformabile) was quite popular at the time as a second car for those who were well on their way. Almost a kind of fashion item for the upper Italian class. Even though the Fiat 500 was mainly intended to make ‘ordinary people’ mobile. Even in 2025, the Autobianchi has a high ‘handbag content’, although we may be doing the mischievous classic with that description a bit of a disservice. For the price of this 69, which still has an Italian license plate, you can buy a nice handbag. It must yield €12,950. There’s a good chance that this will again end up with someone with a nicely filled bank account as a ‘nice to have’ car. But hey, that’s also a hobby.
