1994 Land Rover Range Rover P38

The Appeal

MOT valid until June 2025
Solid underside
Excellent prospect for cosmetic restoration

The Appeal

The P38 was a huge golden boy for the rise of the Rangie. Offering an upgraded trim, an unusual air suspension system and all manner of modernisation to match, the new slab-featured off-roader set a firm precedent for its audience: The Range Rover was now the top of the line, and it was there to stay.

This particular example, finished in Obsidian blue, offers a top-notch opportunity for cosmetic restoration. The mechanicals have proved reliable and dependable, with no issues reported by the vendor, and it comes with an MOT running all the way up until June 2025. Whether you intend to take it under your wing and restore it to former glories, or drive the car day-to-day, this is a great prospect.
