2000 RANGE ROVER (P38) 4.0 SE AUTOBIOGRAPHY

KEY FACTS

• A well-presented and very original example of the luxury 4x4 in flagship Autobiography specification.
• It is powered by the 4.0-litre V8 petrol engine that produces up to 187bhp and 236lb-ft of torque, mated to a four-speed automatic transmission.
• With a very recent MOT, this original UK-market car Range Rover is ready to use and enjoy both on and off road.

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

• Finished in Java Black paintwork with a contrasting beige leather interior with black piping, there are also elegant wood trims throughout the cabin including on the dashboard panels and instrument binnacle, the centre console, door caps, and as accents on the leather-trimmed steering wheel.
• This luxury 4x4 is sitting on 18-inch ‘Hurricane’ alloy wheels that have recently been professionally refurbished, and it also has a fully operational air suspension system.
• Factory equipment includes air conditioning, heated front and rear screens, heated front seats, cruise control, and Sport mode for the transmission.
• It has been fitted with an aftermarket Kenwood head unit, featuring MP3 playback and USB connectivity.
• The Range Rover is supplied with the original leather wallet, book pack, owner’s handbook, and a partial service history with some previous MOT certificates.

CONDITION

• No known prior body damage.
• The exterior of the vehicle is in good condition, and the seller has had the bonnet professionally repainted as the original paint was fading. The seller has noted some stone chips to the front bumper, mirrors, and lower scuttle area, plus some minor surface scratches on the bodywork; but evidently the car presents well for its age.
• A minor chip is also noted on the windscreen, though not affecting the field of vision.
• The interior of the car is in very good condition with the rear seats appearing as if they have hardly been used. There is some surface wear to the driver’s seat bolster, but no unsightly damage. The steering wheel has been professionally re-connolised.
• The heated seats and cruise control are currently inoperative. The rest of the electrics are believed to be in working order with no warning lights showing on the dashboard.
• The last MOT was carried out on 19 August 2021 at 111,460 miles, which resulted in a first-time pass with an advisory for deteriorated rubber ball joint covers for the front lower suspension arms, which will require replacement in due course.

SERVICE HISTORY

• The last service carried out was on 6 April 2021 at 110,442 miles where the vehicle received a major service at Land Rover specialist SSG Automotive, carried out to the manufacturer’s specification. A vehicle health check was also carried out at this time.
• Prior to this, a full service and brake fluid change was carried out on 18 June 2019 at 100,199 miles.
• During the seller’s ownership, this Range Rover has benefited from all four wheels being professionally refurbished and four new tyres. The exhaust rear silencers and tail pipes have also been replaced, along with new tailgate cables.
