Allo!
I had wanted a boxy 90s style 4WD for quite some time, however, was also enjoying my very fun WRX track car that I shared with a friend of mine. The gearbox ended up dying and we were done with that adventure so it went to someone else and my search for a 4WD began.
I was originally looking at a late 90s Prado and actually got money out to go purchase one before being sniped by someone else at the last minute. Wasn't meant to be!
Then someone on an Aussie forum suggested an old Range Rover and I discovered the P38. After lots of research I decided it didn't seem that hard to maintain. I found a 2001 P38 with 428,000kms on the clock
but only 80,000 on a rebuilt engine done by a very reputable place in Sydney that seem to be obsessed with old Range Rovers.
It has a few kinks to iron out, busted aircon, bit of painting needs doing, worn interior trim bits and weather strips that need redoing on the doors. But otherwise its an amazing condition for its age.
It's easily the comfiest car I've been in and I love the way it drives.
I can't wait to take it on an adventure!
