It is a toy dinosaur!
It's become her mascot since i perched it on there a few weeks ago.
Extinct like the way P38 and all the modern rangies are going me thinks...do have a nice collector's P38 scale model though no probs with the running of that though

Think outside, no box required.
The P38 isn't as complicated as people make out..
sure it has electrical probelms but they are quite simple to iron out..
There are a fare few who specialise in refurbishing some if not all electrical components
this member here is a well know genius in RR P38 electrics @martyuk
Unlike other landrovers or the Range rover of before the P38 doesn't rot like shyte.
so its a question of whether you like tinkering with electrics or replacing half the metal in a crumbling car..
People have preferences.

Until it gets regular runs it will behave...the day you go for a run take out AA cover...I've just replaced brake components completely on my 101 forward control that sat under a tree here in portugal for 15yrs before i bought it bled about 6 times and still can't get a good pedal just because you rebuild something doesn't mean it's going to work first off especially with electrical and you've read the electrical tales of woe on P38 owners on here...

I won't rebuild it yet..
This is a slow project..
I'll start with the cosmetics and when ready it'll have a full mechanical and electrical overhaul

Indeed they do
Mine is welding biased, as I have years of experience doing it .... But I take my hat off to you for persevering with the electronic "stuff" - I would have burnt it by now ( joking - P38's are a nice tool ) Nice work on the detailing too

LOL A gluten for punishment. But then, aren't we all? We've all got Land Rovers!
bit like scabies once landrovers are under yer skin, they never get oot!
I can't imagine not having a Land Rover or 3
