The car offered here is a one-off, prototype number 3 and is unique with its small V8 (3.4 L) by Ted Martin, which was not powerful enough and was then replaced by the Chrysler engine. Another difference to the later cars are the tail lights. The Monica 560 is an exceptional luxury sedan that was produced in a very limited edition in the 1970s. This exclusive car was designed to compete with other prestigious European models such as the Mercedes-Benz S-Class and the Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow. The Monica 560 was equipped with an impressive 5.6-liter V8 engine that produced 270 horsepower, giving this luxury sedan astonishing performance and a top speed of more than 220 km/h. The interior of the Monica 560 was extremely luxurious and elegant, with the highest quality materials. The car was designed to offer a lot of comfort to the passengers and also had a spacious trunk, making it very suitable for long trips in style. Even though the Monica 560 was showered with praise and received excellent reviews from experts and road tests, production of the car was very limited due to financial problems and uncertain market conditions. It is estimated that only 20 Monica 560s were built, making this car a rare and extremely valuable collector’s item. The Monica 560 has become a legend over the years thanks to its impeccable performance, refined design and exclusivity. It remains a car admired by car enthusiasts worldwide and has a lasting legacy as one of the most remarkable French cars ever built. The cars on offer are part of a static collection that has been accumulated over the last 40 years.
