I came across an auction regarding a press kit for the Monteverdi Sierra. Unfortunately it was an old auction which already ended in 2014. It's a pitty we have missed this one out as it did hold some nice documentation. It went for a pretty high price. For now I was only able to capture the snapshots of these two photo's included (pretty good quality).

On the first press photo you can see again these so called "air vents"or "ornaments" on the C-pillar. Which are missing on the 2nd photo taken at the Geneva Autosalon. I know from other pictures it's the same car in the back as the car up front is the light-blue version. As such I conclude these have been some kind of optical ornaments. The used rims are still a mystery to me.

From this picture I was able to have a closer look at the tyre profile. It does look like to be Pirelli's Cinturato CN36. For showing purposes the name Pirelli has been colored yellow - judging from other old car shows this was a common thing to do.
