The Appeal
The Range Rover P38 continued the good work of the original Range Rover, bringing a little luxury to the more inaccessible corners of the countryside and the world. It had become increasingly focussed on the passenger experience, with plush leather seating, climate control and newfangled features such as satellite navigation.
This particular P38 looks very smart in its deep blue livery, and features two-tone leather upholstery inside. Passengers can luxuriate in the blue and cream upholstery as they are transported across rivers and mountains, without batting an eyelid.
It benefits from a very recent service and we’re told by the vendor that the chassis is in ‘outstanding’ condition. This is the kind of car you can waft around in very comfortably, whether that wafting is done in a city centre or on a windswept moorland.

Summary
There’s something enduringly appealing about a Range Rover, a sentiment shared by the many thousands of people who continue to buy the latest model. But this P38 allows you to go back to the early days of Range Rovering, with the ability to head out from your city centre office and end up barrelling down a rutted farm track. The P38 can take all this in its stride very happily, and it still looks the part to this day.
