It isn't a Monteverdi 250 Z Zivil is it?

It's indeed not a Monteverdi. However, my source thinks that there is a connection with Monteverdi...

Yes! It's a Saurer. Locked for you for 48 hrs to come up with the model name.

I know that in 1978 Monteverdi created the 230 M - a prototype exists at the Monteverdi Museum. It was created together with Saurer and was powered by a Volvo engine.

If the model name is not 230 M then the race is open for all

It's the Saurer Model 288 prototype from 1980. The Monteverdi connection is indeed not reliable. The car was equipped with a Volvo petrol engine, axles were from Dana. About 25 cars were built, but as it was rejected by the Swiss army the project was abondoned.
