Twenty-five years after its triumphant introduction, what's now known as the Range Rover ‘Classic' gave way to the second generation of the model (code name P38A). By then the Rover's original workmanlike persona had been completely transformed - long gone were the hose-down rubber flooring and basic trim, which had been replaced by increasingly deep pile carpets, leather upholstery and wood finishings. The newcomer brought a strengthened chassis and less boxy exterior, while power was now provided by upgraded 4.0-litre and 4.6-litre versions of Rover's ubiquitous all-alloy V8 engine as well as a diesel derivative using the six-cylinder 2.5-litre engine.
Introduced at the end of the P38’s production, the Westminster special edition was a limited production run of just 200 examples, 150 petrol and 50 diesel examples. It was offered with a high specification including electric windows, door mirrors and a glass sunroof, along with an upgraded Harman Kardon stereo system, air-conditioning, cruise control, and an in-built sat-nav system. With the choice of either the 4.0 V8 or 2.5 diesel engine, the Westminster was offered in only three colours - Blenheim Silver, Java Black or Bonatti Grey. The example offered was supplied new via Stafford Land Rover on the 20th of March 2002, being finished in Bonatti Grey with Ash Grey leather interior upholstery. The special edition features continue inside with metal trim accents and ‘Westminster’ sill tread plates, as well as stylish Poplar Anthracite wood inlays, giving the cabin a more contemporary appearance. The Westminster is one of the 50 diesels made, using the 2.5-litre engine.
Offered for auction having covered approximately 109,000 miles, the Range Rover has had six former keepers. Treated to extensive improvements in 2017 (around 8,000 miles ago) to the cost of around £7,500, the work completed included a new headlining and considerable mechanical attention with the Westminster received a new injection pump, belts, steering arms and damper, shock absorbers and ABS attention including new ECU, amongst further enhancements. Supplied with a history file that contains the original bookpack with handbook and service book, a collection of invoices and previous MOTs, and a current V5C document. Eleven services documented in the service book and accompanying invoices, many of which were completed by main dealers and specialists. This a rare chance to acquire a low-production limited edition of the growing popularity P38!
