Highlights

- 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.
