In an attempt to further extend its line, Allard adapted its P1 saloon to produce the 8-seater, wood-sided, V8-engined, P2 Safari Estate. It too found weak sales.

The Allard P2 'Monte Carlo' two-door four-seater saloon followed the P1 in celebration of their Monte Carlo win. Fitted with a choice of Ford, V8 Cadillac or Chrysler engines, performance could now be considerably enhanced over the side-valve Ford engined P1. Sharing the same 9'4" wheelbase, the Allard P2 Safari Estate had the same narrow grill, designed to prevent Monte Carlo Rally snow from blocking the radiator intake, and was equipped with de Dion rear suspension and coil-sprung divided front axle. This suspension was developed on the J2 sports-racer, giving the P2 and the Safari estate car superb roadholding for such a large car. Estimates are that 10 Safari Allards were built, of which just 4 survive worldwide today.
