Montana in German style.
My first contact with this model was when I saw one rusty but charming one at my friend's, a brand enthusiast. It's a very rare model, he said. Produced only for the Swiss market, he added. One day it will be as good as new, that was his plan. I was jealous and took care of my own business. A few months later, Montana appeared in ads and I decided to have it. A quick phone call, booking a trip to Radom and he has it. I bought it from a man who normally deals with the renovation of classic Porsche 911s, to whom Montana came by accident. When he was buying one of his Porsches in Switzerland, he saw the above-mentioned copy in the garage, dusty and unused for a long time. It turned out that it had been with the owner since new, but due to its age, he had not used it for several years and, fortunately for me, he agreed to sell it. The Montana version is characterized by a body painted in white, including mirrors, side moldings, air intake grilles, and sills. It does not use wheel arch extensions to make it easier to move between snowdrifts. The interior is finished with grey painted wood and velour upholstery. The 300GE version with a three-litre in-line petrol engine with 170hp and an automatic gearbox is the ideal drive set allowing you to travel comfortably around the city on long routes and in the most difficult terrain, but more on that in a moment. The PUCH marking on the grill and steering wheel indicates that the car was manufactured for the Swiss market and adds a touch of collector's value to this model. Every time I close the door with a characteristic sound, I am transported to a perfectly tailored interior. Driving is pure pleasure and its appearance pleases my every glance. Returning to my favourite off-road fun, I did not dare to go off-road in my one, but my friend went on a few off-road trips before renovating his white arrow. Watching a 30 year old classic G enter and pass the toughest tests where the newest and most powerful cars were subjected was an incredible experience. The simplicity and quality of the Mededes G-class drive is legendary but seeing it live is highly recommended. So my copy after a major overhaul after many years of standing and fitting stylish wheels with new tires pleases every day.
