The former MONTEVERDI Car Collection
The
historic Automobile MONTEVERDI
production facilities had given way to the MONTEVERDI Car Collection, which Peter Monteverdi had personally conceived and furnished.
In the end of 2016 the museum was
closed for good.
On three levels of the MONTEVERDI Car Collection enthusiasts and interested visitors
were offered a world-wide unique overview of all MONTEVERDI vehicles ever constructed, spanning 40 years of progress dating from the 1952 MONTEVERDI Special, the first car that Peter Monteverdi had built at the age of 17, to his final construction of the Formula 1-based MONTEVERDI hai 650 F1 super sports car of 1992.
