2001 Range Rover 4.0 HSE (P38)

Description

Late HSE spec 4.0 V8 petrol P38 with coil spring conversion that's spent time in Europe with its last owner; new headlining; great towing vehicle

Dating from March 2001 this late model P38 Range Rover 4.0 HSE is finished in Bohemian Silver with black trim and sits upon its original 18” Hurricane alloy wheels.

Under the bonnet, we find the later Bosch fuel injected “Thor” 4.0 litre Rover V8 engine which here, develops 188Bhp and whopping 339NM of torque driving all-four wheels via four-speed ZF 4HP22 automatic transmission with hi and lo range options plus four-wheel traction control as a later model.

Inside, we find black leather seats piped black featuring electric adjustment, driver memory and adj. lumbar, cruise control, wood trim, digital climate control with AC, electric windows, electric mirrors, electric sunroof, heated front seats, rear ventilation, front fog lights, onboard computer, original radio/cassette and here, a retrofit Snooper VDO digital screen with what looks to be a reverse camera on the back (we have not tested this).

This example has been treated to the common coil suspension swap, doing away with the often-troublesome air suspension for a conventional coil spring set up giving a fixed ride height and fewer headaches while maintaining a good ride quality.

This P38 spent much time in Europe with its last long-term owner of 13 years, who opted to fit a European 2 pin plug in the passenger footwell and cold climate plug on the grill to permit one to pre-heat the coolant water as found on vehicles in many Northern European countries.  This owner then sold the Range Rover to our lady vendor who has used it sparingly since.

The truck presents well and shows 123,418 miles. The design of the late model P38’s still looking sharp, and here it has been treated to a recent replacement headlining in black which really sets the interior off as well as a set of new HT leads, spark plugs.

The history file includes the V5C revealing just five former keepers to our lady vendor, owner's pack and invoices for the parts purchased above. The current MOT is valid until October 2023 and recorded two minor advisories for damage to a seat belt buckle (a replacement has been purchased and is in the box file).  The eagle-eyed may note the upper windscreen trim is missing, it randomly arrived home one night without it we are told, but a brand new one has been provided and is boxed, in the car.

This late model 4.0 HSE Range Rover has much to offer and would no doubt make an excellent tow car or useful 4x4 for all purposes and looks good value at the guide price pitched, being very much 'in Vogue'.
