Located at Binningen, about 2.5 km south of Basel, the 70 models of the Monteverdi Car Collection are displayed on three floors, together with some 11,000 model cars. The museum housing the collection was opened in 1985 in the converted premises of the former factory, which closed in 1984. Peter Monteverdi (1934–1998) founded the company, which manufactured the exclusive Swiss high performance luxury sports and touring cars, in 1967. He had started to design and construct racing cars in 1956 and, in 1961, produced Switzerland’s first Formula One car. Prior arrangements are necessary to view.
