The Appeal
For lovers of classic Range Rovers, the P38 neatly blends the appeal of the older models with the usability of the modern ones, but without the complexity of the latter. Good examples make great family wagons or workhorses.
This very smart burgundy metallic DHSE is fitted with the economical 136bhp 2.5L straight six turbodiesel engine. It is in really good order, including the mechanicals, which have received a thorough going over since the vendor acquired it last year. The long list of work is detailed below and includes attention to the injectors, suspension and engine. It has also received a recent full service covering engine, gearbox and driveline. The current MOT runs to October 2026 with no advisories.
This is one of the tideist P38s we’ve seen in a long while. With its luxury, well-preserved cream leather and walnut it looks ready to enjoy.
The vendor says:
“Vehicle drives exactly how a Range Rover should, provides supreme luxury everywhere you go.”
