Excellent find, but wouldn't you rather have a Toyota Tiara?

No? Me neither...

hmmm, difficult.

Just noticed what's in the showroom..a '71 Dodge Challenger soft top.

That looks like a well sprung sofa in the back!

Anyone recognise those taillights?

can enlighten us on this car looks w126

Saw the Monteverde on another site. I sort of like it. Its another styled version of the 126 isnt it.

The rear lights are definitely Peugeot probably 600 something, 605?

 

[Tiff]

Nearly, 505...

That was close, although I do like that generation of peugeots, never remember the model designation numbers.

And that interior too, it's so fiat mirafiori or even lanchia style.

Anyone notice the dash is all Mercedes?

My guess is that this is a rebodied w126

This is from Wiki.

When the production of the Plymouth Volaré ended in 1980, Monteverdi chose another car to be converted. This time, it was the new Mercedes S-Class (W 126). The front got a massive chrome grille with four round headlamps looking like an Alfa Romeo Alfetta (third series), while the rear lamps were provided by Peugeot (505 sedan). It was announced in 1982 for a price of 185.000 Swiss Francs, and badged as Monteverdi Tiara. It is not clear if there was serious production, particularly as the final design looked somewhat dated, being less aerodynamic looking, when compared to the Mercedes-Benz original.
