The Appeal
It’s always difficult replacing a successful, groundbreaking new model. But when Land Rover introduced the P38 to take over carrying the baton from the original Range Rover, they struck the delicate balance between updating the design, innovating new features and staying true to the original concept.
The P38 offered for sale here is finished in the smart shade of Oxford Blue and this theme is continued in the interior, which features two-tone leather seats. It is in good condition throughout, with its paint exhibiting a deep shine and the leather interior having received some repair work and has had a new headlining fitted.
The vendor tells us that they will supply this Range Rover with a year’s MOT, and that there is extensive service history available. In any case, we’re sure the car’s commanding road presence and V8 rumble will provide many miles of enjoyment for its next custodian.

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.

- 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.

|---|---|
| £0 to £10,000 | £100.00 |
| £10,000 to £50,000 | £250.00 |

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.
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.
