Bianco Auto Developments
Open Day
Ask most people what Bianco Auto Developments is about and
they’ll probably point to the company’s huge presence in Alfa
Romeo racing. Well, attending Bianco’s Open Day in May proved
that it has an awful lot more going on...
Story by Chris Rees
P
aul from Bianco told us that the
aim of the day was to showcase
the huge range of facilities that
the company now offers at its
all-new purpose-built premises in
Surrey. For instance, there’s a state-of-the-
art Dyno Dynamics 2400hp 4WD rolling
road (one of very few in the UK), which
allows the company to offer exceptional
tuning capability. Also new is a full MOTtesting bay. Upstairs, customers could
browse huge stocks of parts, and
discounts were offered.
The public turnout was impressive. Inside,
Bianco had assembled huge numbers of
racing cars, while rarities like a GTA Junior
and Giulietta Sprint highlighted that one of
Bianco’s main activities is restoring classics.
Outside, we were astonished to see not one
but two extremely rare Quadrifoglio NRingeditions (both Giulia and Stelvio). Owners
brought along Fiats, Abarths, Maseratis,
Ferraris and many, many Alfas.
There was a great fun feel to the occasion,
with an atmosphere more like a village fete
than a regular open day. There was plenty to
do for all the family, with a bouncy castle on
site, face-painting for the kids and a gaming
station. A fully-stocked BBQ ran all day with
soft refreshments too.CONTACT Bianco Auto Developments, The Green
