	One-off prototype by Pietro Frua
	Presented at the 58th Salon de l'Automobile de Paris in 1971
	Known ownership history from new

This unique prototype by Pietro Frua was first seen at the Paris Salon de l'Automobile in 1971. Looking like a scaled-down Ferrari 330 GTC, the Monte Carlo was based on a humble mass-produced family car  the Ford Escort 1300 MkI  so was a far cry from the expensive exotica usually associated with Frua. The car has featured in articles published in the German magazine Motor Klassik &#40;August 2018&#41; and in Autoretro &#40;issue 470, January 2022&#41;. 

It is reported that the wife of a Swiss architect acquired the car directly from Frua in 1972. The next owner kept the Monte Carlo from 1980 to 1998, and the third from then until 2016. The car has belonged to the current owner since 2018, forming part of his important collection of cars by Italian coachbuilders. Reportedly it was restored in 2003, when the colour was changed from brown metallic to the current, and very elegant, red metallic.

A rare opportunity to own a one-off design by one of the foremost Italian coachbuilders, the car is offered with Swiss registration documents; FIVA Passport &#40;issued 2018&#41;; scans of the aforementioned magazine articles; and an expert's report dated November 2017, which rates the car's condition as generally good.
