According to How Many Left, there were only 298 P38 Vogue SE A models ever produced (or registered, anyway) for UK market.
In Q4 2015 there were 248 left on the road or SORN.
Haven't yet been able to dig deeper to see what the total production run was. There's not much info around the model out there on the web.
Interesting to know what I have resting in an oily misfiring puddle in the workshop anyway.
That's a pretty good survival rate!
I've saw a few for sale when I was looking for mine, but as you say there's so little info out there to be sure of what it actually meant. Of course, half of them were probably just Vogues with an SE badge.
Whereas mine is an SE without a Vogue badge, or a Vogue SE badge. Bet they're REALLY easy to get hold of, although they're still listed as an LR part.
£63.00 for a badge? Only if I run out of other things to buy for it...
That is something different from the Classic days, if you wanted a CSK badge you had to show your VIN.
How do I find out the origins of mine? Also by VIN somewhere?
If you're lucky Tony, you can stick the VIN into Microcat and it'll give you all the build and trim options fitted.
Any of the online decoders will give you the basics that you already know!

If I remember right, Gordon's is badged as a Vogue SE too although a GEMS.
If I remember right, Gordon's is badged as a Vogue SE too although a GEMS. Survival rate does seem pretty good but you know what they say. 75% of all Land Rovers ever made are still on the road (but the rest managed to get home again....).
Maybe that solves the mystery of where my badge went :)
Gordon- you don't have a Java Black tailgate on yours by any chance?!

Vindecoderz only comes up with the year of built and type of engine (I knew that already), estimated mileage (259.000 km, wrong it's 190.000 km) and an invitation to pay for more info.
I don't have Microcat, but can a dealer supply this info if I pretend to have lost my EKA? (Which I haven't)
If you pm me your VIN (don't put it on open forum!) I'll fire it into Microcat next time I've got it booted up and see what comes up, if you like?
Thanks! PM sent.
Nope, mine's metallic blue (think it's the same shade as Gilbertd's pimpmobile one, paint code 602). It's GEMS and badged as Vogue SE.
Here's how many Vogue SEs were built.
That's interesting. I wonder what the suffixes (1), (2), (3), (4) mean?
Looking at UK registrations and dates the 300 x 2002 model year production looks like the UK allocation. The 98 and 99 production solely for export perhaps?
The official designation of mine is a Vogue SE A
The book says that the first Vogue SEs became available on 1st August 1998 (220 made). Then there was the second limited edition Vogue SE from December 1998 (105 vehicles - UK only). The third edition of Vogue SEs was produced at the end of the 1999 model year. The fourth edition was 2002 (400 vehicles).
Here's the section on the 2002 Vogue SEs (continued on the second picture including a breakdown):
Thanks for that. Appeals greatly to the anorak in me!
Something to help you beat buyer's remorse ;)

Piano Black certainly beats that minging fake marble stuff!
Fake marble? That's burr walnut with prussian blue highlights :)
I know that 'cos I read it in a book ^^
Now that's a nice looking car and an even nicer price...
It's minging! Apologies to any owners with blue highlights :)
I thought £15k was a little steep, no?
It's a very reasonable price and once I've thrown a bucket of soapy water over mine I'll advertise it at that and it's bound to sell instantly :)
Once the men in the white coats have dealt with the seller of the £15k one, I'm sure they'll be round to take me away to a nice warm padded room...
