NO RESERVE - 2001 RANGE ROVER 4.0 BORDEAUX is available now at classified from Car and Classic Classifieds

With the new L322 Range Rover just around the corner, Land Rover’s marketing team had to get creative with the last 18 months of P38 production, with a realm of special editions joining the ranks in order to bolster sales. 

Among them was this – the Bordeaux. Finished only in Alveston Red with Lightstone leather and red piping, plus matching dark red carpets, it tipped the scales at £39,995 when new – almost as cheap as a 4.0 SE, but with a sumptuous specification that was a halfway house between SE and HSE.

Today, it’s a highly desirable thing. Not only is the Range Rover P38a is one of the cars of the moment – a real up-and-coming classic – but the 2001 and 2002 models are actively sought-after by Range Rover fans in London and Birmingham, as their Euro 4 Type Approval means they are exempt from ULEZ or CAZ emissions penalties.
