The Appeal
If you want to go anywhere – including off road and into the rough stuff – but do so in effortless comfort and then arrive in elegant style, then you buy a Range Rover. It’s as simple as that. The “Rangie” as it’s affectionately known, has long been the answer to the ‘one car that does it all’ conundrum.
And the P38, overlooked for many years, is now being recognised as something of a modern classic. Suave, understated style, superb powertrains, great all-round ability and well specified cabins make them a very usable and practical daily driver.
The example you see here has been recently recommissioned. Mechanically in fine fettle, it’s now ready for a new owner to add some finishing touches cosmetically. We think it would be a great option for anyone looking for a quick project this summer.
