The P38 Range Rover was the second-generation Range Rover built under the watchful eye of Land Rover’s new owners, BMW.

Design followed the original styling cues from the original Classic Range Rover and the P38, launched in 1994, now offered a more modern and even more luxurious Range Rover for the more discerning customer, who were also well-heeled enough to afford the new prices.

The 4.6 HSE featured a smooth V8 engine and was packed with all the electric comforts and options that were expected in a luxurious and up-market car.

This particular example has only had 4 owners and has spent a large part of its life SORNED and kept in storage.

In its early years it enjoyed regular maintenance and servicing at main Land Rover Dealerships and thereafter by its enthusiast owners. It received a few early enhancements from the well-known Range Rover Bespoke specialists Overfinch, with a stainless-steel sports exhaust with 4 tail pipes and Bilstein uprated suspension.

Whilst in the care of its last owner, it spent all its time in the warmer climate of Spain where again it has been kept out of the searing sun, being always garaged and used very infrequently.

The P38 has for the past 4 years been part of a large collection and whilst started regularly, its not been driven so therefore requires full recommissioning for the road. Points to note from the vendor - Drivers side rear door doesn’t lock or unlock with the remote, but can be operated manually using the button. The tyres are perished and likely need replacing, the drivers seat doesn’t move back and forth/recline.

Last service was prior to its sale into the private collection.

The car comes with three electronic keys, one manual key, and its V5c showing 3 owners and comes with many MOTs and SORN certificates collected through its years, the last MOT expired in December 2022. It also includes the service schedule of maintenance records up to 84,000 miles in 2005.

All the original owners manuals and guides are present along with the original purchase invoice and the user’s manual for the aftermarket Alpine unit that has been fitted. The original head unit will also be supplied with the car.

The spacious and well-equipped interior is finished in Lightstone leather with contrasting piping and looks very clean and in great condition throughout, with some very minimal signs of use and wear over the years.

The seats are electric, heated and the driver’s seat has three memory positions, however this function is currently NOT working. The HSE comes with cruise control, electric sunroof, adjustable steering column, remote functions on the steering wheel, climate controlled air conditioning and the rare option of a matching wood insert on the drivers instrument clocks.

The carpets and overmats are all in great condition and the often sagging headlining was replaced with a brand new professionally fitted headlining.

In the rear there is the original dog guard and a fully rubber load space mat, together with the normally missing rear parcel shelf. The boot well has a full-sized spare wheel and the jack and wheel-brace.

The rare colour of Alveston Red Metallic really makes this car stand out from the crowd and its original paint still has a good and deep shine to it.

As you’d expect on a car of this age there are a few imperfections to be found here and there but nothing that would suggest any damage or major repair. There are some small scratches around the door handles and locks, and on the driver’s wing mirror and a couple of those annoying small dings just above the fuel flap and on the rear nearside door. There are stone chips and the odd small scuff at the front of the car and on the bonnet.

The bumpers, lights and all the glass and rubbers all look in very good condition and the wheels are all in great shape and all shod with good Pirelli Scorpions.

The car was fully serviced with all fluids and filters changed together with new spark plugs and unused on the road since.

The air suspension is reported to work well and the car starts and drives when driven around the yard.
