In my opinion, yes it is,
My biggest reason for thinking this..
1 The styling to me is brilliant it is the last of the proper Range Rovers in my eyes, the L322 and beyond looks a bit too bling.
The 38a is just elegant
It's hard to put into words but it's the last Range Rover that has Classic Class and elegance.
The L322 and beyond just look far too PIMP for my liking.
Thats my main reason for thinking it's IN MY OPINION the best RR yet.
Hello All
I'm Henry!!
17yrs old with a LR sized hole in his life he had to fill
My first car is a 2002 Mini One
but i always fancied a Land rover as a after college side project, with the new emission law that is probably going to be enforced i looked solely at Petrol LR's and RR's
Originally i was looking for a Disco 1 v8 but the styling and rot didn't quite do it for me so i skipped them and started looking at Series landies and older defenders.
However the prices were way too steep.
I kept trawling ebay and It occurred to me how Cheap certain Range Rover were.
My eye was trained on a few
1995 4.0 SE
1998 4.6 HSE
Or 2001 Vogue.
Ofter looking at all of the above i settled on the Vogue.
It seemed like the perfect vehicle.
upon inspection the carpets were soaking. Heater Matrix O-rings probably..
quite a few scratches including a massive Dent in the rear quarter.
125k high or low mileage?
Big battery drain.
She hadn't run for months
and tbh i am/was questioning my sanity
;)
Plenty to get along with
Thanks For Having me..
A few questions
1 She is A late 2001 Vogue and the owner was swearing that the colour Monte Carlo Blue was a one of a kind colour? is it that rare?
2 Are P38 deserving of major restoration like RRC's
3 What is the difference between the Thor 4.6 and the Gems 4.6.
4 What is the difference between the "vogue" and "hse" i have seen many HSE range rovers vastly outspec the same year Vogue so what is in the name?
Finally some Pic's he he he
Bad ones First eh?

The above is a picture from under the rear bumper, the rear bumper mount seems to have rotted off, not ideal i know.
The bumper is being held up by a Ziptie
