THE APPEAL
As up-and-coming modern classics go, the Range Rover P38a is one of the cars of the moment. With prices of Range Rover Classics hitting the stratosphere, enthusiasts are turning to the later models as the next big thing, and the most interesting P38s are now starting to command good money.
But so they should, as the model was the vehicle that truly marked Range Rover out as a luxury brand and took it away from its utilitarian roots. Terrific to drive, sumptuously equipped and with real presence, they’re a fabulous vehicle when properly sorted out and well-maintained.
This one comes with even greater appeal by virtue of being one of a run of ultra-luxurious models produced to mark Land Rover’s 50th anniversary in 1998. Originally, Land Rover intended to build just 50 examples of the special edition, all in Atlantis Blue. But thanks to high demand it’s believed at least 86 and maybe as many as 100 were produced, although only the first 50 included a Philips CARiN sat nav system – as good as obsolete today, but the ultimate in options back in 1998.
Presented in very good original condition and unrestored, Range Rover Vogue 50th number 18 represents a rare opportunity to get your hands on an especially collectable Range Rover derivative.
This is a really smart, unusual and rare special edition P38 in a fabulous colour scheme, freshly serviced and good-to-go. The Atlantis Blue paintwork really suits it and the interior is delightfully opulent, while the rarity of the 50th Anniversary specification and the numbered brass plaque make this one of the most collectable P38 variants there is.
One to buy, use sparingly, put away and preserve, as its special edition status, glorious originality and fantastic equipment levels make it a solid future investment.

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.

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.
