UMM Alter “Papamobile”

For the visit of the Pope John Paul II to Portugal, UMM created a special "Popemobile" based on a 1992 5 doors-long wheelbase chassis from the Alter II. It featured a 40 mm armoured glass box on the rear with a chair for the Pope. It had air conditioning and outside loudspeakers connected to a microfone in the rear. Originally it had the 2.5 Litre Turbocharged engine, but due to safety impositions the normal 2.5 Litre 76 PS Diesel engine was fitted.
