New box and air suspension. Cosmetically tatty but good MOT history.

Am tempted to take a punt. Can afford to lose 1k if it turns out to be an utter disaster, and I know someone very good with bodywork.

Thoughts? Run away?

How much do you want to sink into the bodywork? Prices of decent P38s are on the up, but as you say, you could be one repair away from it being written off and given the values, that would be a shame.

My guess is a shed load of thinsg won't work properly. You might even have to open the doors by putting a key in the lock....In 2022!

Thanks folks. I’ve decided to run away as advised, however I do think this could be a good shed/dog wagon for someone. I don’t think it would ever be much more than that.

I’ve told the seller it wouldn’t be a bad idea to advertise it in PH classifieds, so if he does, please be kind, he seems like a decent chap!

Shame. The p38 is one of my fav vehicles. But they do drive you nuts.

Always something with them... but they offer a blend of abilities like few others. Apart from things stopping working on them, they are the pinnacle of the original Range Rover concept.
