I saw this P38 for sale in the forum I frequent for my Disco. The ad looks good. It's in London so it could be of interest to some of you.

It's also on rr.net. Looks to be a nice tidy car but advertised in the wrong place. Think about it, why advertise a car for sale to people that already have one?

I had an enquiry yesterday from someone asking about converting a 4L Xreg P38 to LPG, they hadn't bought the car yet...

Edit - Heh just noticed the one for sale is an N reg so can't be the same one like I was expecting.

I've only had one driving P38, but I had a 1998 parts vehicle. I still have most of the parts. The shell went to the breaker. And I have a Disco 2. I sold my 1963 Series 2A a few years ago, after driving it for 27 years.

I appears to be nice & clean, but the the MOT history on suspension ball joints is not great. Same stuff appears 10 years in a row, which says to me it's not been maintained that well.

Agree Pete, but it hasn't done more than 3,000 miles a year for at least the last 15 years. If it has only been used driving around London and not out on open roads, the owner probably hasn't noticed or realised how vague the steering is with worn top and bottom ball joints and track rod ends.
