THE APPEAL
The Range Rover ‘P38a’ is as much of a status symbol today as it was when it was it was new – opulent, well-equipped and exceptionally grand, it’s a car that has earned a huge enthusiast following in the 27 years since it was launched and is a rapidly appreciating modern classic.
With prices of Range Rover Classics going stratospheric, the P38’s moment in the sun is nigh – they’re already creeping up and are only going one way. It’s not surprising either, because as well as being iconic, they’re really quite lovely to drive and have a sense of grandeur about them that few other cars of the era can match.
This one’s a gorgeous example. A 2000 Model Year final facelift, it’s a high-spec Vogue with the flagship 4.6-litre V8, finished in discreet Oxford Blue, which must be one of the smartest colours offered on the model. It’s a genuine sub-100,000 miles car with a good history, making it the ideal luxurious modern classic as well as a sensible future investment.
