MOT: September 2024
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 workman-like persona had been completely transformed - long gone were the hose-down rubber flooring and basic trim, which had been replaced by increasingly deep pile carpets, leather upholstery and wood finishings.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. The 30th Anniversary Edition was launched at the 2000 Geneva Motor Show. Production was limited to a total of 400 cars, 200 were for British roads and the other 200 for the rest of the world. All were finished in Wimbledon Green Metallic with body-coloured bumpers and mirrors, Green leather upholstery with Cream piping, burr maple veneer trim, and a tailgate badge with a white background, reflecting the ‘Pearl’ anniversary of the Range Rover. Included in the factory specification are electrically adjustable heated front seats with two-position driver’s seat memory, dual-zone climate control, cruise control, an electric sunroof, and air suspension.
In current ownership since 2015, originally, ‘XRH’ began its ownership life in the ‘car-friendly’ climate of Japan and was repatriated into the UK in 2015. Currently displaying 100,100 kms c.(62,200 miles) Specialist Cars of York were responsible for importing this 30th Anniversary Edition, just 1 of 200 export examples. The specification now includes parking sensors to the front and rear, satellite navigation and a Clarion brand stereo entertainment system. Maintenance of ‘XRH’ saw new discs and pads in 2015 plus upper and lower ball joint gaitors and N/S rod end gaitor in 2017. It was last serviced in November 2021 and is being offered with a current V5C and a collection of invoices.
