The Appeal
The P38 Range Rover had big shoes to fill after the decades long run of the original, but Land Rover put huge effort into creating a worthy successor, with styling by an internal design team that evolves classic look while adding capability and comfort. This very late P38 Range Rover started life with Land Rover themselves, possibly as a management car or one of the press fleet, so had a pampered start to life.
It has been with its current owner since 2005, and has been part of the family, being used at work and at home, crossing Europe several times and thanks to regular servicing from a local Land Rover specialist has remained a reliable companion.
