| On 20 October 1996 a group of enthusiastic
Bianchina connoisseurs came from all over
Italy to found a new club, with the same principles
to A.S.I. (AUTOMOTOCLUB STORICO ITALIANO,
the best organization in Italy that groups
all the most important italian clubs of old
vehicles). Their aim was to become the most
important international authority for every
connoisseur and owner of the famous car created
in DESIO: the Bianchina.
For several years this group of
serious connoisseurs have shared their
enthusiasm and travelled far and wide in their
Bianchina.
They know this enchanting world so well that
in a very short time their knowledge was fully
appreciated and the group has achieved excellent
results.
Immediately the group began to work, they
were full of ideas and in Italy and in foreign
countries now you can find members to help
you (especially in France and Holland where
there are many colletors of little cars and
also in Germany, Sweden, Monaco, Canada, United
States.....).
The secretary’s office collects all membership
informationwhich is then sorted by topic and
geographic region to ensure that all questions
and requests are dealt with efficiently
Although our club was only founded a short
time ago we now have 400 members in Italy
alone.
Bianchina Club gained authorisation from FIAT
AUTO S.p.A. for the exclusive use of the Autobianchi
trademark worldwide. FIAT AUTO S.p.A. is the
owner of this trademark.
When our Club asked this famous Motor Company
to use the Autobianchi trademark, the management
of FIAT were pleasanthy surpresed, as many
clubs unlawfully use trademarks without even
requesting permission from the rightful owners.
Bianchina Club is a member of the “Autobianchi
Register” and this is a memberof the “Automotoclub
Storico Italiano”, the organisation from wich
it is ispired;
through him the Bianchina Club members
can certify their vehicles (obtaining the
best certification existing in Italy).
When any owner becomes a member of the Bianchina
Club, their vehicle is catalogued and classified
in an historical register that currently lists
over 1000 vehicles.
The members can obtain technical estimation
and type-testing of their cars, information
about buying and selling and a group of experts
can solve their bureaucratic problems.
There is also a computerized process for direct
changes available to all members, covering
information, documents, spare parts,....
Our club produces and publishes news, photos,
professional television shots that cover the
events of the Bianchina Club. The members
can see our efforts but of course there are
limits regarding copyright and use of the
trademark; relative pemission must be asked
directly from the owners.
Every member receives the newsletter of the
Bianchina Club.
When you become a new member you receive a
memorandum of association and membership card.
Our aim is to gather and share memorable holidays
and experiences together; on these occasions
you should bring with you the Bianchina Passport;
document that you will be given which will
be stamped (you’ll also be able to win prizes!).
After forty years, the Bianchina car.....has
been revived.
The management of Bianchina Club is pleased
to meet all enthusiastic members, connoisseurs
and intersted parties who share the same passion
that Mr. Agnelli, Mr. Bianchi
and Mr. Pirelli did when they created this
famous and precious little car 40 years ago.
The current management looks forward to a
long and successful future.
