P38A A proper classic in the making.

Not in terms of money you understand, but in terms of styling

This pic was taken in June 2017 around a week after i got her, personally i think this shows off the styling of the P38, a car that has IMO aged very well.

People ask why i love RR's so much, all i have to do is show them this picture.

Arguably as good looking as the Classic i think the P38 is well on the way to be a classic, maybe not in the money department but in the old country style department.

The last of the Country Range Rovers.

The l322 is also well on the way IMO, as long as Marty can suss the electric bits on 'em so new parts can be reconditioned lol

That photo could almost be in France!
The L322 will never be a classic, they rust away too quickly, plus you have the electronics designed by a team high on LSD that can prove unfixable.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, give me a Classic any day as they ring the bell for style & lack of (esp. pre Oct '89) complexity

Hi Henry,
I used to live in Burmarsh for 15 years. My next plan is to blacken my trim to match the grill, I did that when I bought it but haven't got round to the rest of the trim. Your's looks spot on mate!

I will soon. I haven't polished it for 3 years! Does gleam really well when it does though! Does that turn the sun bleached grey back to black or have you had all your plastics painted?

She'll look ace i bet!

Just make sure it's applied to clean plastic!

I made a mistake of applying it to dirty dusty plastic, it worked! but looked nothing like the trim that i cleaned up beforehand! lol
