The Appeal
Twenty-four years after the introduction of the Range Rover Classic, the P38A was shown to the automotive media in September, 1994 with production commencing shortly after.
The new model included an updated version of Rover’s V8 power plant and offered more equipment and premium trims, deliberately positioning the vehicle above the Land Rover Discovery to face the increased competition in the SUV marketplace.

If there is any car that can genuinely be said to be in a class of its own, it is the Range Rover. With its combination of on- and particularly off-round ability and high-end luxury, the many remaining P38A Range Rover examples appear to be well cared for.
This early mid-1995 example of the P38A is most certainly one of those.

History and Paperwork
- Mostly dry-stored and driven, garaged when not in use
- Just four keepers in 27 years
- V5 certificate in current keeper’s name
The car’s data plate suggests that M800 HSE rolled off the Solihull production lines in the first week of May, 1995 and received its first UK registration to David J Medcalf, director of Lavender Hill Garage of Enfield, north London two weeks later on the 17th May.
The current keeper acquired the vehicle in October, 2017 and maintained the car’s excellent condition in the same manner as all the former keepers have evidently done.
In the past ten years, the car has been driven a little over 9,000 miles.

Accompanying the sale will be the V5 certificate in the current keeper’s name, an MoT certificate valid to May, 2023, a leather holdall containing the owner’s handbook, the fully-stamped service and maintenance record book and a ‘quick guide to driving controls’ booklet.
In addition, there is a raft of invoice detailing spares acquired and maintenance undertaken over the years to keep the car in its current condition. Of particular interest is the original sales invoice dated 15th May, 1995.
Also evidenced is Land Rover’s recall #A312 of September 1998 which required the cooling system hoses to be replaced, which of course was undertaken with the mileage recorded at 22,662.

The Interior
- Fully original throughout
- Elegant leather upholstery
- Tidy and unblemished interior
The original interior presents in excellent condition and is noticeably out of kilter with the vehicles 27 years and 75,000 miles.
There are no evidential signs of wear and tear to the leather seats which is remarkable.

The door cards, soft furnishing and headlining appear in excellent condition and the custodian reports all the electrics – and there are many on this upper-end HSE variant – to be in good working order, including the switchgear, instruments and front seat settings.
The veneer trim inserts on the dashboard, centre console and doors present in very good condition and show none of the age-related varnish peel or sun bleach sometimes found in cars of this vintage.
It must be noted that there is a tear to the front passenger seatbelt which will require replacement.

The Exterior
- Original Biarritz Blue Metallic (Code 965)
- Brightwork is in exceptional order
- Stunning condition for its 27 years
Wonderfully presented in its rare and exquisite Biarritz Blue Metallic (Code 965) paint finish, this fine Range Rover P38A is indeed a handsome beast.
The paintwork gleams like new and the brightwork around the car is in excellent condition. The original alloys wear a few minor scuffs but are in good condition nonetheless. All of the tyres appear in rude health, too.
Both the front and rear light lenses are clear and show no hint of the sun-bleached fogging usually associated with a car of this age and a cursory glance down each flank of the car reveals no evidence of damage at any time in its 27 years and even the front valance, number plate and under sill – for all their vulnerability – remain blemish free.
All apertures open and close as well as the day it was assembled, plus the sunroof remains full operational and trouble-free.

The Mechanics
- Two original keys
- Fully maintained, no expense spared
- A long MoT awaits the new keeper
At the outside photo location, the P38A was frequently repositioned to obtain the best of changeable light at this time of year.
The car started first and every time and settled into an appreciative and throaty burble that only a well-tuned V8 can deliver.

The ZF-sourced 4HP24 automatic four-speed transmission connected smoothly – including reverse – with drive engaging with no drama and requiring just a light feathering of the revs to get underway.
As mentioned, the car has been driven less than 9,000 miles since 2012. The custodian reports the car to be in very good mechanical condition with steering, brakes, engine, drivetrain and running gear performing as well as their respective British engineers intended.
Like the immediately visible parts of this car, the underside and lower sills present in very good order with a degree of natural oxidation that may reasonably be expected on a car of this age and mileage.
Summary
There is little doubt that M800 HSE will be a worthy and enduring addition to any new home willing to keep it in the manner to which it has evidently become accustomed over the past 27 years.
In addition, there is a wealth of information, technical support and comradery available at the UK Range Rover Owners Club, the members of which are as knowledgeable and enthusiastic as they come.

Come funzionano le offerte massime
Il processo di offerta massima ti permette di fare offerte senza preoccupazioni.
Inserisci la tua offerta massima e il sistema farà offerte automaticamente per assicurarsi che tu sia il miglior offerente - fino all'ammontare da te stabilito come tetto massimo.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic contrasta il fenomeno dello “sniping”, ovvero il fenomeno dei rilanci all'ultimo secondo per vincere l'asta.
Se viene fatta un'offerta nei 3 minuti prima della chiusura dell'asta, la scadenza di questa viene automaticamente estesa di 2 minuti per permettere agli altri offerenti di reagire e, se lo desiderano, di rilanciare.
Incrementi di offerta automatica
- Se la sua offerta massima è uguale o inferiore al prezzo di riserva, la sua offerta massima sarà applicata per intero se lei è il miglior offerente.
- Se siete il miglior offerente e fate un'offerta massima superiore a quella di riserva, la riserva verrà automaticamente inserita come prima offerta.
-
- Una volta raggiunta la riserva, Car & Classic si assicurerà che tu sia il miglior offerente utilizzando solo gli incrementi di offerta indicati di seguito.
- Vi terremo in testa fino alla vostra offerta massima O all'incremento più vicino alla vostra offerta massima, a condizione che la vostra offerta massima sia sufficiente a coprire il valore dell'incremento.
| Ammontare dell'offerta | Incremento |
|---|---|
| Da £0 a £9,999 | £100.00 |
| Da £10,000 a £49,999 | £250.00 |
| Da £50,000 a £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
Superamento immediato dell'offerta
Quando piazzi un'offerta massima e questa viene immediatamente superata, questo significa che un altro offerente ha impostato una soglia di offerta massima superiore alla tua.
Puoi fare nuovamente un'offerta o impostare una soglia più alta di offerta massima e il nostro sistema rilancerà fino alla nuova soglia, cercando di portarti a essere il miglior offerente.
Offerte massime di pari ammontare
Quando ci sono due offerte massime di pari ammontare, quella impostata per prima è quella che viene considerata “migliore offerta”.
Pre-autorizzazione
Potremmo trattenere un piccolo importo di pre-autorizzazione sulla tua carta fino alla fine dell'asta, quando quest'ultimo verrà poi stornato. Se vinci, verrà prelevata una caparra che verrà detratta dal pagamento del prezzo di vendita per il veicolo e non comporta costi aggiuntivi per te.
Cosa sono le Offerte pre-asta?
Offerte pre-asta significa che avete la possibilità di fare offerte prima dell'inizio ufficiale dell'asta.
Verrà comunicato se si è il miglior offerente o meno all'inizio dell'asta.
Problema con l'offerta
Le offerte sono contrattualmente vincolanti. Per tutelare l'utente, sono previste alcune regole nel caso in cui si ritenga che sia stato digitato in modo errato. Si prega di controllare e modificare quanto inserito.
