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 2001 Model Year final facelift, it’s a high-spec Vogue with the flagship 4.6-litre V8, finished in rare and appealing Alveston Red, 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.
Overall it’s a lovely example of a post-facelift P38 in a gorgeous colour scheme, with a gorgeous interior and fabulous bodywork – there’s no evidence of it ever having needed welding and the door shuts and sills are superb.
With P38s being really in vogue at the moment m- if you’ll excuse the pun - and the best examples getting fewer and further between, this one represents a terrific opportunity for the enthusiast and investor – a grand and stylish old truck in impressive original condition.
