RANGE ROVER P38 SE - 4.6 V8 

Location: Harry Alexander Classics USA - Austin, Texas 🇺🇸 - $16,995 

If you love cars and more to the point, love Range Rovers, you won’t have to scroll far on online nowadays to be hit by just how desirable the P38 has become. Far from being ubiquitous however, they are tucked away in elegant mood boards, or, are driven by the ludicrously fashionable and indeed celebrities. 

It’s fair to say that after three decades following their release, they are having quite the renaissance. And it simply must be stressed just how difficult it is to find great examples today. Not sky high mileage, not suffering from corrosion, not sun damaged and not tired inside or suffering from electrical gremlins, which is often the sign of lack of use or lack of maintenance and investment.

​

Equally accomplished as a cosseted and comfortable daily driver, or, as that perfect late 90’s accessory seen outside a picture perfect Nantucket weekend or holiday home. 

HAC USA is delighted to offer not one, but two late model Thor engined 4.6 V8’s.

Both of which benefit from the Bosch injection system which replaced the Lucas technology seen on GEMs models. This upgrade brought improved fuel economy, smoother performance and greater reliability. The technology itself was derived from the E38 7 Series BMW as changes were gradually made to the P38 following BMW’s acquisition of Land Rover.

​

This example was sold new in Malibu, California and it then made its way to Aspen where it spent its most recent years being pampered and garaged. It is now with us in Austin, TX.

​

Finished in Bonatti Grey over a light grey interior with extensive Walnut veneers, it is a very elegant combination.

​

It is fully loaded with every off road option available for that year including running boards/side steps, rear light guards, front brush guard and a roof rack, giving a purposeful aesthetic and practical utility in equal measure.

​

With just 104,000 miles in 25 years it is a comparatively low mileage example amongst its peers and has benefitted from proactive maintenance.

​

At 90,000 miles it received a full service in Aspen which included a new alternator, new serpentine belt and a thorough inspection. The door lock actuators have recently been replaced also. 

​

The engine runs smoothly. The transmission changes effortlessly, and the AC is ice cold. 

​

The sunroof works and doesn’t leak. 

​

The body is straight and the paint doesn’t have any sun damage. It’s in extremely good shape on top and crucially, the chassis and undercarriage is in excellent condition also. 

​

Stepping inside, the interior is extremely clean and well preserved. The seats are in excellent condition as is the carpeting, dash, door panels.

The Carfax shows no accidents, that the mileage is correct and details previous inspections and service intervals.

​​

This is a wonderful example with comparatively low mileage at an attractive price point. Whatever the use proposition, the P38 is without doubt, a collectable modern classic.
