The Appeal
Cruelly overlooked in favour of its younger sibling for many years, the P38 Range Rover is now firmly in the spotlight. Enthusiasts increasingly recognise it as the sweet spot in Range Rover evolution: a car that delivered much-needed innovation without compromising the original's essential form and formula. Later examples such as this 2002 Vogue SE 4.6 V8 are particularly sought after, benefiting from the numerous improvements made throughout the model's production run.
This example is presented in an attractive colour combination and features the desirable Piano Black Wood interior trim. Purchased approximately three years ago from a dedicated Range Rover collector, the car has since been used sparingly and mainly on dry days by its current keeper. The vendor tells us: "The fact you see very few on the roads as they can be troublesome shows this one isn't one of them — this one has proven its money." There are a few items to note, including a non-functioning electric sunroof and some light bubbling on the mirror units, but overall this P38 presents well for its age and appears to have received the level of care these fine 4x4s demand.
