Presented by Carlo Tinarelli, Settimo Torinese (Torino)

(Italy 1967)

The first Italian-built car to have front-wheel-drive with a cross-mounted engine (the Fiat 1200), this two-door saloon was presented in 1964 bearing the Autobianchi trade mark.

The Primula was endowed with considerable sparkle, while its stylish and functional bodywork housed some way-out mechanical features (e.g. transmission in line with the driveshaft and disk brakes on all four wheels).

Its list price was 1,050,000 lire.
