MPV Tehran Of Willy Brandt 1972 Prince Reza Pahlavi II by Brausi
A completely unique car which was developed
and built by the three famous German car manufactures Mercedes-Benz, Porsche
and Volkswagen. It might be the only car ever which was developed together by
those German manufactures. This desert-racer was a ‘toy’ for the crown prince
Rezza Pahlavy, the son of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the last Shah of Iran, who
fled his country 1979. Since then, the late Shah's cars have been considered
part of the national heritage and are displayed in the National Car Museum of
Iran at present. The museum is said to have around 1200 vehicles.
The MPV Tehran Type was a gift which was
presented to the Royal Court by the Germany’s ambassador on behalf of the
Chancellor Willy Brand. With four cylinders and an engine power of 80 horse
power it has a top speed of 170 km/h. The last visit of Willy Brandt to Iran
was 1972. The crown prince Rezza Pahlavy was born 31st October 1960. This
means that at the age of 12 he received the MPV Tehran Type with - as said
before - the dimensions and shape of an F1 car, and this with a top speed
of 170 km / h. It has two keys. One, made of silver, limits the powerful engine
to a gentle 30 kilometres per hour. The other, in gold, allows the vehicle to
speed at 170 kph. However, his father was known for his nightly car
races. A rogue who thinks bad. All this said, it was politically correct back
then.
In today’s world of corporate governance and
political correctness such a present is absolute impossible. Things have
changed for the better!
