Highlights
- One of only 200 Westminsters built
- Freshly repainted in Bonatti Grey
- Plenty of work carried out to good order
- 4.0 V8 Petrol engine - arguably the most desirable spec
The Appeal
The P38 was unveiled in 1994 as the successor to the original, Classic Range Rover - a bold step upon the legendary car’s reputation that offered refinement on the original format, with a self-levelling and adjusting air suspension, ABS and more. It was a controversial addition for some, but a much-needed update for others.
The Westminster trim was a special edition produced at the end of the P38’s production. It was offered with a high specification, three choices of factory colours and an impressive interior, with Poplar anthracite trim and electronic features all leading to the highest level of appointment to be found in a P38.
This obviously pampered example is very well presented and, having had significant work carried out over the last year, is ready to go.

Summary
Presented with high factory specifications and an unusually luxurious interior, the Limited Edition Westminster is a superb example of the P38 - perhaps one of the finest in the model’s history. This particular vehicle’s regular servicing, maintenance and recent paintwork have resulted in a beautifully preserved P38 that hasn’t lost its lustre.
Thanks to its rare trim - being only one of 200 - and the more reliable petrol V8, this model is a desirable one, and would be a superb daily driver as much as it would a pampered collectable for the dedicated enthusiast.

About Max Bids
The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.
Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
- If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
- If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
-
- Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
- We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.
| Bid Amount | Increment |
|---|---|
| £0 to £9,999 | £100.00 |
| £10,000 to £49,999 | £250.00 |
| £50,000 to £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
Pre-authorisation
We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.
What are pre-bids?
A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
Problem with your bid
Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
