Peter Monteverdi Automobilbau-Stiftung

The purpose of the foundation is to cement the life's work of the Swiss automobile designer Peter Monteverdi, who died in 1998, for all time and to preserve, maintain and enhance this life's work as a cultural asset (car and art) for future generations at home and abroad; it wants to sensitize young people and adults to the careful handling of the Monteverdi cultural asset. For this purpose, the "Peter Monteverdi Automobilbau" foundation wants to keep at least one copy of each model produced, keep it in the collection and have it professionally serviced so that future generations can always gain an insight into the work of the Swiss automobile designer with the production of hand-made small series . The exhibits brought into the foundation are prototypes and manufactured vehicles of the types "Monteverdi 375/4 L" (four-seater representative vehicle), 375/2 ("Coupé"), "Berlinetta", "Cabriolet", "Hai 1970" , "Hai Formula 1 1992" (last car produced), military vehicles, off-road vehicles and Formula 1 racing cars. The existing archive will also be brought into the foundation and continued by the foundation. The archive is to be supplemented with new articles (press publications, e.g. text reports on the Monteverdi vehicles, specialist books on the Monteverdi subject, websites, etc.). If necessary, duplicates of the brought in documents, sound carriers, etc. can be created. In addition, the foundation can organize exhibitions (e.g. in cooperation with museums), events (Olympic races / rallies, Formula 1 etc.) at home and abroad or make exhibits available for exhibitions at home and abroad. Should there be a revival of the Monteverdi brand (e.g. construction of a new Monteverdi sports car), the foundation can support such a future project without compensation with specialist knowledge and - if finances allow it - also financially. The foundation is of a non-profit nature and does not pursue any commercial goals; it does not seek profit and is politically and religiously neutral. As part of its purpose, the foundation works with goal-oriented organizations and also with authorities. The foundation can also purchase land.
