The most
The MonteCarlo anniversary series was produced in very limited numbers: 300 examples were made worldwide, 164 of which were for Europe (and 13 for France). This example bears the number 50 and is of French origin, so it's hardly surprising that it has become highly prized. The car was delivered new in 1991 to the Saab dealership in Cannes, where it was used during the Cannes Film Festival as a vehicle for Catherine Deneuve.
The car is distinguished by its limited edition status, its condition and its history. It has undergone a full partial restoration over the past six months, including a complete repaint of the bodywork and aero kit, as well as a ceramic treatment to protect the new paintwork. The car has always been kept in a dry, enclosed garage and shows no signs of rust.
