Does anyone know how many were made?? I can't find info, only a suggestion that it was more than the Sahara (a cheaper alternative which retained most of bodywork from the base International Harvester Scout) which may have been about 30 made.

On one italian website, it says:

Quote Monteverdi Safari

La safari, il modello di maggior successo per la Monteverdi, venne prodotto dal 1976 al 1981 in 1500 esemplari, dotata di un motore V8 da 5,7 litri, con 165 cavalli come potenza massima e la trazione 4X4.

Don't know how reliable is that source.

That vid link ^ suggests unconfirmed figure of 850. Either way it's a much higher figure than I expected ....

I didn't know coldwarmotors was a member here. Probably too big now with 50K subscribers.

German wiki says "low 4-digits", with Peter Monteverdi himself claiming 3000 units.

"Peter Monteverdi sprach wiederholt von etwa 3000 Exemplaren; manche Quellen beziffern die Produktion mit „etlichen Hundert Stück“ an.[17] Es ist wahrscheinlich, dass die Produktion insgesamt (niedrige) vierstellige Zahlen erreicht hat."

A video (in French) about the unique 5-door model:

(which was not made in production, as they were making the early 5-door classic Range Rover, so they would not make a competing vehicle)
