It isn't a Monteverdi 250 Z Zivil is it?
Title: Re: GG-106
Post by: guido66 on February 24, 2010, 08:18:36 AM
It's indeed not a Monteverdi. However, my source thinks that there is a connection with Monteverdi...

Yes! It's a Saurer. Locked for you for 48 hrs to come up with the model name.

I know that in 1978 Monteverdi created the 230 M - a prototype exists at the Monteverdi Museum. It was created together with Saurer and was powered by a Volvo engine.

If the model name is not 230 M then the race is open for all

It's the Saurer Model 288 prototype from 1980. The Monteverdi connection is indeed not reliable. The car was equipped with a Volvo petrol engine, axles were from Dana. About 25 cars were built, but as it was rejected by the Swiss army the project was abondoned.

Here is an earlier Monteverdi prototype that looks quite similar:

I have read that this car was also known as Saurer F006. I write it here so that others will find it if they look for it under that name.
