I haven't got a pic of the original 2.5L Climax engined Monaco around any where. Yours in the pics have been hacked by us Americans for SCCA pro, USRRC & CAN-AM.....tho the first one is pretty close shape wise. I think that is what we called the King Cobra......mit Ford power.
I saw em' run....tho it was a long time ago and my memory is foggy....along with the Climax engine Lotus 19 back in the early 60s at Kent......when drivers were fat & tires were skinny. |

Wolfgang,
Is that Armin's GT replica? He did one or two of the Monte cars for customers I think? I don't remember them ever putting Porsche power in a Cooper...it is great looking. I know someone put a Porsche powerplant into a Devin as well. Peter |

Peter, I don't know yet if Armin built this clone ... but it was my first thought, too I will find out and let you know - it might take a little time I just know that Armin doesn't own the car (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) 914.1.43.0139 was destroyed by the factory in 1972 914.1.43.0140 was converted to the famous ONS Firetruck - unfortunately I don't know where the car currently is - I heared a rumor that the current owner tends to restore it to the original '71 Monte Carlo specification ... 914.1.43.0141 was restored by Armin (and his team): Attached thumbnail(s) |

Someone dumb like me earlier asked "what is Essen?" A city? A museum? Ferdinand's garage?
How about an answer, or did I miss it? |

Thank you John. Looks a little like Pebble Beach/Hershey combined.

What a clever way to enclose the fuel filler! The wholl thing is hinged as well...that's really trick.
Great photos Wolfgang...Thanks for posting these. |
