2001 Range Rover 4.6 Holland & Holland (P38)

Description

Highly desirable and exceedingly rare P38 4.6 by Holland & Holland gun makers; one of just 93 UK models; bespoke spec including Tintern Green exterior, hand-stitched Walnut Brown leather interior, blued interior handles just like the guns, walnut picnic tables, engraved wood inlay trim etc

Dating from January 2001 this rare and splendid Range Rover P38 is one of just 93 UK market examples (with a further 300 going to the US market) built in collaboration with world renowned gun makers Holland & Holland who added their own take on the P38 Range Rover.

Finished in Tintern Green the car presents well, sat upon its 18” Hurricane alloy wheels with body coloured accents to the spokes, discreet Holland & Holland badging to the rear and equally discreet twin polished exhaust tips poking out from under the rear bumper.

Under the bonnet, we find the 218bhp 4.6 litre ‘Thor’ V8 engine which develops a useful 407NM of torque driving all four wheels via Land Rover’s clever H-gate automatic transmission with all-wheel drive and the usual diff-locks/low ratio available when needed. The car rides on air suspension which seems to work as it should although bidders should note the modifications to this system under the bonnet with the five air valves as pictured.

Inside, we find Holland & Holland’s Walnut Brown leather interior with hand-stitched dash, door and arm rest trim along with ‘blued’ interior handles just like their guns, engraved H&H inlaid wood trim, H&H kickplates, walnut rear picnic tables, collapsable picnic table for the boot with legs that resemble a gun barrel (legs in the bag in the boot as pictured), useful boot liner and usual spec of air conditioning, electric windows, mirrors, sunroof, privacy glass, heated seats, electrically adjustable front seats with driver memory, sat nav/radio/CD player, cruise control, OBC etc.

The history file includes the V5C recording just four former keepers to the current of three years, the owner’s pack and (replacement) Land Rover service book which shows nine stamps, the last in August 2021 at 116,971 miles by Colwills Garage of Bude.

Documented maintenance on file includes solely a major service with replacement water pump, radiator, two pulleys and belt in November 2018 at 115,620 miles costing some £2,189. We also note four old MOTs, a letter confirming the vehicle is a genuine H&H edition and vehicle spec from Land Rover and current MOT valid until October 2024 recording no advisories.

Presenting beautifully, this rare example hides its 23 years and 118,090 miles well with a supremely comfortable and well-appointed interior, powerful engine and rugged style – there’s much to like here in this very British lot.
