	Monteverdi
		Established in Switzerland in 1967 by Peter Monteverdi who, during the late 1950s and early 1960s, had built, sold and raced a number of "specials" while developing the motor vehicle repair business founded by his father.
		From 1976 the high-performance models were discontinued and Monteverdi concentrated on Safari, Sierra and the Sahara, based on International Harvester's Scout II and Traveller series.
		Then between 1980 and 1982 Monteverdi would manufacture their own unique version of the 4 door Range Rover, however despite ambitious plans for subsequent models production would cease in 1982, and the factory was converted into a museum, the Monteverdi Car Collection, in 1985.

	Monteverdi (car) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Monteverdi was a Swiss brand of luxury cars created in 1967 by Peter Monteverdi (1934 - 1998) and based in Binningen, Switzerland.
		The Monteverdi Hai (in German means "Shark") 450 mid-engined 2-seater was shown at the 1970 Geneva Salon, but due to a much higher price than competing Ferrari and Lamborghini models this was not a success and only 2 are believed to have been produced.
		From 1976, these high-performance models were discontinued and Monteverdi concentrated on Safari, Sierra and the Sahara- based on the International Harvester's lightline featuring the Scout II and Traveller (dubbed the short and long versions of the Sahara) off-road vehicles again featuring Chrysler V8, and later Nissan S6, engines.

		Peter Monteverdi was born in Binningen, a suburb of Basel on the Franco-Swiss border on 17th June 1934.
		Monteverdi agreed and became the first Ferrari concessionaire in Switzerland at just 21 years and remained the Swiss imported for 12 years.
		It was one of the most handsome cars to debut at the 1967 Frankfurt show: a long lithe GT with near perfect proportions.

	1967 LAMBORGHINI Miura P400 #1021
		It appears the car was imported to California from Switzerland in 1969 or 1970.
		The only major damage found was to the left headlight area, where the car appears to have been in an accident (it is presumed that during the original repairs, the car was painted to white exterior).
		The car was repainted in red R&M lacquer by Richard Stayman of Costa Mesa and the interior redone in tan leather by Radillo Coachworks of Costa Mesa with Wilton carpets.

	Monteverdi
		Automobiles Monteverdi Ltd. was founded in 1967, and is said to have employed 170 employees and produced 1300 automobiles in 1976.
		Most Monteverdis were exotics, with something of a Ferrari/Maserati look to them and powered by Chrysler's hottest V-8s, including the 426 Hemi (used in the Hai 1) and the 440.
		Unfortunately, Peter Monteverdi himself was reportedly not the most friendly character, and the cars were, as noted earlier, rather rust-prone, presumably due to carelessness in preparation of the unique bodies.

	Milestones of the Millennium: Claudio Monteverdi
		Monteverdi bestrode the musical eras we call Renaissance and Baroque, and was the first composer to develop opera to its full dramatic and musical potential.
		To emphasize the wide ranging emotions of his characters, Monteverdi subdued the traditional polyphonic structure of the Renaissance, in which all vocal elements were projected equally.
		Monteverdi exploited dynamics and dissonance to convey human emotion in ways that dazzled audiences and befuddled conservative critics.

		Peter Monteverdi was a passionate businessman and racing driver who—against all odds and with little capital—produced a GT coupe that had few peers in its time.
		Monteverdi was a good chassis engineer and created a rectangular-section space frame of extreme rigidity for the car.
		All of these cars are attractive alternatives to the typical exotics of the era, though they will never be appreciated by the average collector in the way that a Ferrari is. I have often thought that a fascinating collection could be assembled from these European cars that used American V8s.

	Pietro Frua - Wikicars
		Pietro Frua was born in Turin, the fourth son of Angela, a tailor, and Carlo Frua, an employee of Fiat, the centre of coachbuilding in northern Italy.
		During World War II car-styling work was scarce and Frua had to turn to designing children’s cars, electric ovens and kitchen units, as well as a monocoque motorscooter.
		The “Frua line” was synonymous with the good taste of a single man. He followed each car’s practical realization to the last detail of the fully functional one-offs and prototypes, often driving them to their presentation at the motor shows in Europe.

	Plymouth Volare and Dodge Aspen including Super Coupe
		The Monteverdi Sierra was a sport-luxury car based closely on the Aspen/Volare, with a redesigned front suspension and radically different sheet metal that gave it a decidedly European look; the interior was redone as well, though the basic dimensions were the same.
		Although performance in all cars was waning in the late 1970s due to emissions requirements and gasoline shortages, Chrysler did try to create a performance image for the F body cars in the face of a gathering reputation for poor quality.
		Kit cars came with a huge door number decal (it was shipped in the trunk for dealer installation), bearing the number 43, which, of course, was the number on Richard Petty's race cars which were also painted blue.

		Although Monteverdi received many requests for Hai’s, he refused to build them, believing them to be too powerful for the inexperienced driver.
		Of the 4 cars, this is the only example outside the Monteverdi museum where the other 3 are housed.

		They were finished at 5am on the morning that the car was to be launched, and after the brief presentation they were packed off to Heathrow for the flight to Brazil for the season opener.
		Both cars then started but retired in Canada, but in Mexico Foitek finished 15th despite brake problems, while Lehto was the last retirement of the race after an engine failure, albeit some 43 laps from the end, in a race of remarkable reliability.
		Monteverdi actually had plans to continue into 1991, and the team had even built a new car, a compact red and white machine that Lehto tested briefly, but needless to say the car simply ended up on display in the museum.

	All the Makes: Marcos to Mors
		Technically speaking, there was a Maserati car manufactured in 1925 for Turin manufacturer Diatto, this being manufactured as a Grand Prix car, however this was sleeved down to produce the first 1.5 litre Maserati.
		These were all more traditional front engined cars, and Maserati being the company that they were (and still are) needed a mid-engined iteration to take the fight up to Ferrari – and thus begat the wonderful Bora V8 of 1971.
		The cars were actually made by Fritz Fend's own company in the Messerschmitt works at Regensburg, Willy Messerschmitt having little to do with the vehicles other than ruling that they carried his name.

	Car of the Month Archive - July 2006
		Monteverdi was a car dealer and ex-race car driver who dreamed about making his own sportscars.
		In the 1950s he started to construct specials and racing cars under the MBM name ("Monteverdi Binningen Motors") which even lead to a Formula 1 car in the early 1960s.
		The company went on producing luxury sedans and 4x4 cars in the Range Rover idiom, and more or less ended with a bang with a Monteverdi Formula 1 car which was entered in the 1990/1991 seasons and based on the old Onyx chassis.

		Jay told Dennis that this car was what you would have gotten if you sent your 1970 Roadrunner to Switzerland and had it “Euroed.” By the way, this car is one of only four ever produced and was on display at the London Auto Show.
		As Dennis and Jay approached the car, Jay said that it was similar to “driving a phone booth on wheels.” He did, however, go on to say that it was the only one of his cars that was 100% maintenance free!
		Jay said that the biggest joy that he receives from the car is that he and his wife drive it during the holidays and look at Christmas lights and decorations.

		Getting information from Monteverdi wasn't to simple, and it was another question, if the press-releases always gave out real facts, some fiction was included...
		Officially, about 3000 Monteverdis were built, most of them were Sahara/Safari, but anybody will be surprised to find out that the real number was smaller.
		It was getting more difficult to get a low production car street-legal, so Monteverdi concentrated on the interior, and redesigned the front, and the rear of a standard luxury car.
