Peter Monteverdi
Peter Monteverdi (7 June 1934 in Binningen, Switzerland – 4 July 1998 in his Binningen apartment directly above his own car-assembly workshop) was a Swiss automaker and creator of the automobile brand ''Monteverdi''.
At the beginning of his career, Monteverdi was a car salesman. In 1957 he acquired the Swiss franchise for Ferrari, subsequently becoming Swiss importer for other international prestige brands including Rolls-Royce and Bentley. In 1952, he started producing cars under his own name.
==Formula One involvement ==
Peter Monteverdi engaged in the construction of Formula One cars from the late 1950s to the early 1960s. In 1961, he built the first Swiss Formula one car, which bore the name MBM (''Monteverdi Basel Motoren''). He made a single Formula One appearance at the 1961 Solitude Grand Prix, where he retired after two laps, and subsequently withdrew his entry for the German Grand Prix〔John Thompson, "The Formula One Record Book", Leslie Frewin Publishing, 1974. pp. 40-41〕 having been injured in a prior race. He subsequently retired from race driving.
In 1989 Monteverdi bought the Onyx Formula One team after its original backer ran into financial difficulties and Stefan Johansson finished in third place at the Portuguese Grand Prix as best result. However, the involvement proved unsustainable and was terminated during the following season. A legacy was the Monteverdi Hai 650 F1 sportscar, of which supposedly six copies were sold until 1994.
