Best version of the P38 IMO. Check that everything works. What year is it?

+1. If he only used it for social drives on a Sunday, were the drives on the rest of the week anti-social? Or was it broken down Mon - Sat

Sounds like a good deal to me. Do the usual checks but if he's been nice enough to give it a bit of a run once a week and it hasn't let him down then it sounds like a good way to look after the car. There are some reliable P38s, I class mine as one and, of course, there are thousands of happy owners who've never even heard of Landy Zone.
Every morning, on my commute into work, I see three P38s being used as everyday transport by normal, fairly sane looking people and I wonder if I actually know too much about what can go wrong with these cars. After all, in the years I've had mine, I've only had one true break down and that was a split heater hose. O.K. my gearbox failed but that was within a couple of thousand miles of me giving it it's first ever oil and filter change and I wonder if I disturbed something and if the original box would have survived if I'd just continued in ignorance.

If you really want a RR p38 go for it look after it and you will be rewarded with total satisfaction I have owned my 95 for a good few years and it has been very reliable but since new it has had small fortune spent on it in maintenance

You'd be forever declaring it as a mod to your insurance company. If you didn't and you had a blowout or ever lost control, they could avoid a payout on the grounds of a modification that could have had a bearing on the accident leaving you to foot the bill...

You can always put the airsprings back, not expensive. Use the fact that it's on coils to haggle on the price.
