Description
Badged up as the rare 25th anniversary limited edition; manual
gearbox; in need of some light reocmmissioning but runs and
drives
Introduced in 1994, the second-generation Range Rover (P38A)
combined the marque's legendary off-road capability with improved refinement and
comfort, and is now rapidly gaining recognition as a modern classic. This
example is the sought-after 2.5-litre turbo diesel fitted with the increasingly
desirable five-speed manual gearbox.
Finished in Vogue specification, the
vehicle has been cosmetically badged as one of the rare 25th Anniversary Limited
Edition models. However, for the avoidance of doubt, it is not an original 25th
Anniversary example, despite the external badging.
The history file
contains a substantial collection of MOT certificates and early invoicing
charting the vehicle's life back to around 122,000 miles in 2005. It was last
MOT tested in 2024 when the odometer recorded approximately 205,000 miles.
Prospective purchasers should note that there is a mileage discrepancy, with an
MOT entry in 2017 recording approximately 230,000 miles. The general condition
of the bodywork and interior do reflect this mileage.
Mechanically, the
Range Rover runs and drives but will benefit from a programme of light
recommissioning before returning to regular road use. The brakes require
attention and an overhaul, while the tyres are now due for replacement.
Cosmetically, it presents as an honest, usable example with the inevitable
age-related wear associated with a 30-year-old Range Rover.
With values
of original, unmodified P38 Range Rovers continuing to strengthen—particularly
manual diesel examples—this represents an appealing opportunity for an
enthusiast looking for a straightforward recommissioning project. Offered with
the desirable manual transmission and the timeless styling of the classic P38,
it has the potential to make a rewarding and increasingly collectible modern
classic.
