Autocar - 8 March 1980:
Four-door Range Rover - Now it's "official"
BL have long recognised the demand for a four door version of the Range Rover but do not, as yet, have the facilities to make thia and other versions of this most successful vehicle. British specialist firms like Rapport, Carmichael and others have not been slow to produce the Range Rovers that the manufacturers can't offer, at least not in Britain (in Kenya for example, the local BL factory makes four door Range Rovers on a lengthened wheelbase). Latest in the field is the Swiss firm of Monteverdi who have executed a very neat and well-finished four door conversion on the standard wheelbase. There is a considerable demand in Switzerland for luxury vehicles of this kind and Monteverdi have their own Safari and Sahara. So the Range Rover was a logical move for them. More surprising is that BL have taken the project under their wing and will offer the four door Range Rover Monteverdi as part of their range in all markets, including Britain.
At present Monteverdi take delivery of completely finished Range Rovers and re-work them by fitting shortened front doors, a new B-post and rather narrow rear doors, the rear seat being moved back to suit. They can make up to four a week and the price in Switzerland is a hefty £15.600, not much less than their own (two door) Safari and a great deal more than the standard Range Rover. Prices are not
strictly comparable, however, since the Monteverdi specification also includes air conditioning and Range Rover Monteverdi launched at Geneva Show in March 1980
other refinements. BL say that we can expect right-hand-drive cars to be about 50 per cent more
expensive than the standard Range Rover.

and Sierra. The company was started by Peter Monteverdi, who gained the Ferrari distributorship
for Switzerland at the age of 21, and subsequently decided his wealthy clientele wanted a different
kind of luxury car with a lazier engine.
This additional Range Rover production model has been made possible by completion of the £30
million Phase 1 expansion at Land Rover Ltd. This has increased Range Rover output at Solihull from
last year's 300 a week to the present 450 a week. The expansion also raised production of
Land Rovers from 1.350 to 1.500 a week.
The £220 million Phase 2 expansion is said to be running well, and could be finished ahead of
the early 1982 completion date. Phase 2 is intended to further increase Range Rover output to
600 a week and Land Rover to about 2.300.
The Autocar team is in Geneva this week to bring you a full report on the Show in next week's issue.
Autocar - 15 March 1980: Monteverdi's own Safari (above) from 1976 and Sahara from 1978
Geneva Show: Four door Range Rover
Among the newscomers expected at this week's Geneva Motor Show is a new version of the popular Range Rover that was introduced 10 years ago this summer. It is a more upmarket version with four doors, a conversion carried out in collaboration with Land Rover Ltd by Automobile Monteverdi at Basle in Switzerland.
Unlike the highly expensive Range Rover variants produced in very limited numbers by companies such as Rapport, Carmichaels, and Wood and Pickett, the Range Rover Monteverdi, as it will be known, is to go into series production. About 300 will be made this year with output growing subsequently.
The conversion retains the standard wheelbase, engine and running gear. It involves additional stiffening to allow insertion of the rear pair of doors, however, and the trim will be more luxurious
than in the standard two-door version.
The Range Rover Monteverdi will be sold initially in the lucrative Swiss market, and in the Middle
East from about the middle of summer. From the autumn it will be sold in Britain and parts of Europe The first Range Rover Monteverdi was built in August 1979
through Land Rover dealers.
Automobile Monteverdi builds limited quantities of its own super-luxury cars such as the Safari

Highlights:
- Land-Rover approved conversions made by Schuler Presses of Sunningdale, Berkshire, UK
- Schuler Presses a high performance Range Rover converting company
- Later the Schuler Presses altered to Overfinch
- The Range Rover Schuler Super Ranger and Schuler FF were sold through Land-Rover dealers
From April 1980, Range Rover Schuler FF conversions:
Automatic gearchange:
- Chrysler A727 Torqueflite three speed automatic, known as the best suited at that time by the experts to ensure effortless driving both on and off the road. Transmission noise is halved. Town driving is a much more pleasure and towing is smooth and easy. Fuel consumption is the same
as a Range Rover with manual gearbox. Anti-Skid system keeps Schuler FF in a straight direction on slippery
Ferguson four wheel drive:
- Schuler-Voith chain driven transfer box has the patented Ferguson full time four wheel drive system.
This is completely automatic in operation, giving improved handling and safety margins with better performance. On and off road driving is made much simpler and you are free to concentrate on
the terrain.
Anti-lock braking:
- Ferguson Formula antiskid brakes are effective and a simple system that gives an unmatched
measure of skid preventation in emergency braking and stopping distances are reduced at all
speeds. Full steering control is maintained even when braking hard while cornering.
