4.6 HSE, 1995, 12 months MOT, 6 months tax, Essex, £1800 (offers welcome)

Bought her in 2011, was my daily driver for 2 years, bought an L322 last year and decided to keep the P38 as a possible off-road project. After a year SORN in my garage, I never got around to doing anything with it, so have decided to sell.

Just got her taxed and MOT'd (only needing to replace a single ball-joint to get her through). This car has never given me any major mechanical issues, and the engine remains completely sound - has never let me down.

Here's a list of the things I've done since owning her;

• Replaced windscreen (was cracked when I bought her)
• Brand new brake discs & pads, front & rear
• Replaced A/C compressor & condenser
• RF receiver upgraded to resolve battery drain issue
• Fitted L322 18's with Goodyear Wranglers all round
• Added side-steps
• Custom stainless twin-exit cat-back by "Viper Exhausts" (I had this made in such a way it's not too obnoxious, just throaty enough to put a smile on your face)
• Arnott Gen III air springs all round
• Fitted new EAS compressor
• Reconditioned EAS Valve block, replacing all O-rings
• Brand new battery (last week)

Current known issues;

• Sunroof runner broken. Currently closed and weather-tight.
• Transfer box stuck in high. Always has been since I've owned her, has never posed a problem.
• Heated seats no longer work (haven't since I've owned her)
• Cruise control doesn't work (hasn't since I've owned her, I've never bothered attempting to fix)
• Head-lining starting to sag in the rear

Advisories from latest MOT (28/04/2014);

• Rear brake hose has slight corrosion to ferrules
• Nearside inner front constant velocity joint gaiter deteriorated, but preventing ingress of dirt
• Nail in offside rear tyre
• Offside rear tyre wearing on inside edge

I will probably get the tyre sorted this weekend - will update this post if so.

This is as honest a description as I can make. I'm looking for £1800 out of her, but am of course open to offers.

She's a rugged old girl, everything you'd expect from a nearly 20-year-old P38, good or bad. I just don't have the time to get her up to par since having a child and starting a business, so I'd rather see her go to a Land Rover bod who'll either bring her back towards her former glory, or give her a new lease of life off-roading. Those Arnotts are definitely up to the job!

Thanks for reading, please feel free to ask any questions.

EDIT:
I neglected to mention the mileage.. currently sits at 125,103 and it won't be driven any great distance before it's sold.

Also, I'll be including the currently fitted aftermarket head-unit, a Pioneer DEH-P70BT which is an MP3/Bluetooth model, but will also throw the original factory cassette/radio head-unit in with it as well, in case it's ever wanted.

Hi there valiante
're the p38a .Could you please tell me a little more about it please? Service history ,number of previous owners . Any evidence of anti_ corrosion treatments during its lifetime .Anything extra you could tell me would be great especially as I know very little about range rovers as my pride and joy is currently a defender 110 utility which has cost me a fortune since buying g it 3years ago.
Anyway I fancy a range rover and yours looks good and you seem to have sorted out quite a few issues .If you would like to ring me or for me to ring you that would be great my number is 07542965458 or if you txt me I shall ring you back.whichever way you reply it would be good to hear from you .

Cheers
Nigel

Hi Nigel,

The V5 shows 10 former keepers. In terms of history, I have MOT certificates back to 1998 and a number of receipts dating back to 1997, initially from Land Rover, the more recent being from independent garages. I have all receipts from any work I've had professionally done. The service book has stamps from 1997 to 2001, but as I bought it in 2011 it didn't seem worth getting the book stamped with a 10 year gap already there.

I have all original handbooks and Security/EKA codes in the original leather Land Rover case, though I've never needed the codes, despite a couple of battery-off jobs.

With regards to anti-corrosion treatments, I couldn't say as I simply wouldn't know what I was looking for. My mechanic has never raised any concerns about car's the condition though, in fact commenting on how well the engine runs for its age.

I neglected to mention the mileage in my original post (which I'll now edit).. currently sits at 125,103 and it won't be driven any great distance before it's sold.

Also, one last thing I forgot to mention was that I'll be including the currently fitted aftermarket head-unit, a Pioneer DEH-P70BT which is an MP3/Bluetooth model, but will also throw the original factory cassette/radio head-unit in with it as well, in case it's ever wanted.

I hope that answers your questions.. it seemed simpler to lay out all the facts here. If not, let me know and I'll gladly call.

Best regards,

Marc.

Now listed on eBay. I was hoping to sell to a Land Rover enthusiast, but I guess it's time to widen the net.

The P38 has now sold. Thanks for looking.
