...another Range Rover Classic! It was on the motorway, moving and everything. Very impressive
In fact, I saw three others this weekend, two moving (plus mine), one parked up. Not sure where they have all come from all of a sudden, but good to see them about and working!!
Mike, my brother-in-law and father-in-law both have very nice softdash's so when there's some sort of family event that we all turn up to it gets quite embarrasing sometimes lol. Handy if one of us needs towing home though as there's always something wrong with one, two or usually all three of them My Dad's the odd one out with his P38, but his is the most reliable dare i say it.

I bet they look lovely all lined up though! I really am becoming more and more of a fa of the later Range Rover Classics, I'm driving mine more and more often now!

Some crazy six wheeled limos, mainly for eccentric Arabs

I'd say drive one first. Undoubtedly the P38 drives better, my boss has one and I've driven both cars quite a bit and the P38 really is better on the road. It is also more spacious inside with more rear legroom and boot space.
Having said that, the Classic has a charm about it and a certain air of class (well, a good one does) that the P38 can't match! If you're into the country scene then a Classic is held in higher regard for sure, and if you turn up to a shoot or a point to point a good Classic always attracts a few admiring glances from the landed gentry (what what)!
My advice would be to drive both and see if you really prefer a Classic before commiting - I could've had a P38 but went for a soft dash Classic as it appealed more to me and my needs

I'm used to cars where other drivers wave so I was a little put out when the first one I encountered in my lse didn't. Grumpy sod.
There are a few around here but they seem to be tools rather than enthusiasts. Got a wave from a 110 but that turned out to be a local landy specialist so doesn't really count.
The lse is the one car I have that I wouldn't replace. It will just get fixed. Usual stuff and then all the niggly electrical bits and cruise etc.
Only I'd swop it for is an overfinch lse but they are a bit few and far between and a bit pricey now.
Mine rarely gets cleaned but does get used a lot this time of year. My old 944T is going in for some upgrades in a week or two (325bhp I hope) and the caterham is safely tucked up for the winter so the lse is going to be it for a couple of weeks. It'll love it.

Well I saw a '98 P38 on Norwegian plates drive past me in traffic yesterday here in Trondheim ........
Only difference was he was on the bump stops ...... the joys of coils when you are miles away from home
