Monteverdi Safari LWB prototype (5 doors)

[edit]

This appeared recently on Youtube ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KxI-ZB8Rnjg ). A lot of info in this video, but no authoritative source. Their take on the story is that this prototype car was built on the Long Wheel Base of the International Scout II as a demonstrator for Range Rover to show their know-how in luxury recreational cars, ultimately bagging the official badge for Range Rover 5 door conversion and/or production. Does anyone have knowledge of a reliable source?

Thanks for sharing! That would make sense that the 5-door was what led to the Land Rover collaboration. The source I used for information on the 4-door Safari was this Classic Driver article (https://www.classicdriver.com/en/article/cars/monteverdi-safari-was-a-mythical-suv-beast-made-switzerland). In the article currently it says the 4-door Safari preceded the Land Rover collaboration, and I think that's good for now unless a reliable source is able to verify that it directly led to the collaboration. I'm also currently looking for information on a possible 2-door cabriolet prototype that there's a picture of on Wikimedia if you know or see anything about that.
