Twenty-five years after the original Range Rover debuted, the second-generation model, designated P38A, was introduced in 1995 based on the long wheelbase (LWB) chassis of its predecessor. Powered by a 2.5-liter turbodiesel inline-six paired with a 5-speed manual transmission, this 1997 Land Rover Range Rover 2.5 DT comes finished in Niagara Metallic over Dark Granite cloth upholstery. Equipment also includes a coil-spring suspension system, 16” tri-spoke wheels, a glass sunroof, dual-zone automatic climate control, and more. Showing approximately 230k kilometers (~143k miles) on the odometer, this example is now being auctioned at no reserve by its seller out of New Jersey.
This example comes finished in Niagara Metallic (574) and rides on 16” tri-spoke wheels wrapped in Dextero DHT2 tires. The bodywork comprises pronounced fenders, integrated front fog lights, black trim, and a single exhaust outlet. The seller adds that the factory electronic air suspension has been replaced with a coil-spring setup under the previous ownership. Detailed images are provided in the gallery along with a clean CARFAX report.
Inside, occupants are situated within Dark Granite cloth (D) upholstery accented by wood trim. Equipment includes a glass sunroof, dual-zone automatic climate control, a four-spoke airbag steering wheel, a Sony cassette stereo linked to a cargo-mounted CD changer, and remote keyless entry.
Power is provided by a BMW 2.5-liter inline-six turbodiesel engine with a Bosch injection pump, sending as much as 134 HP and 199 lb.-ft of torque to all four wheels through a 5-speed manual transmission and dual-range transfer case with a viscous coupling assembly. Power-assisted steering is equipped as standard while stopping power is provided by 4-wheel disc brakes with ABS.
This sale will include a clean title.

@YAFA yes @pcarmarket there is a 3rd video in nextcloud that never uploaded. It's 3+minutes of driving. Thanks
@Alfadog2000 any driving videos you may upload please? Thanks
Bid in the amount of $3,750
@BritCarP38 happy to drive it up as long as it's not Fri or Sun night (shore traffic :) )
Thanks!
I'm in western NJ (Denville) - would you consider dropping the car here (assuming I win the auction) I could drive you back to Southern NJ. Thanks
@Alfadog2000 Thanks
@Jjpit the filter and oil was replaced prior to my ownership (250mi ago) so it should be all set.
Is the car service oil, Filter and?
Morning! Final day of the auction! Here for any questions. Cheers!
@Jjpit if you can handle the barrage of calls I've used shiply to quote. On the higher end I've had luck with plycar.
I know cars are coming north now have any idea what it would cost to send one to Vero Beach?
@Alfadog2000 thank you
@Jjpit yes - the truck is geared much lower than the cayenne. It's fine on the highway but won't be like the Cayenne.
Can you address my question about 65-70 about Hwy speed?
@Jjpit absolutely! No problem
If I win can you hold it a couple of weeks. I will pay it immediately?
@Jjpit it's geared much lower than the cayenne. I had a 2013 and regret selling it everyday.. that's a highway cruiser for sure.!. loved seeing the 600mi to empty on fillup :)
I have a Porsche diesel that cruises at 80 all day on 95 What’s the difference?
@Jjpit sorry! Typo- I meant no warning lights. I'm happy to reinstall the hitch ball and connectors- no problem. The car mechanically will have no issues travelling that far. I would note that with the diesel the car is not a highway cruiser.. 65 - 70mpg tops so it may be a long ride ;)
In your last remark you said “Bo warning light” what are you speaking about? The hitch and electrical connectors are included right. If I buy it can you reinstall them as I will drive it back to Florida? Is it all serviced for the 1000 mile drive? Thanks
@BritCarP38 everything works well. Bo warning lights. As mentioned the driver window regulator probably needs to be changed. It works but skips at the top of its range. Ac has been converted to 134a and blows cold as shown in one of the videos. Thanks!
Meant to ask before- how are the electrics? Windows, sunroof, power mirrors, ac, any warning lights, headlights etc. Was the AC converted to 134a? Thanks

@alfadog2000
Thank you.
@swbseries also it's a BMW engine so the parts are readily available- I haven't had to do much but my understanding is that parts are easy to source. Cheers!
@swbseries thank you - I purchased it from an importer in the US along with several other cars from Spain/Italy. I planned on keeping this one but have run out of room so I'm selling this and 2 other imports. My wife says I'm better at buying cars then selling them :)
Did you import it to resell it? curious why you’re selling it.
Also is it hard finding parts and having the engine serviced in the US? Thanks.
@BritCarP38 yes car comes with the ball hitch and electrical connectors. I removed them as I almost punched a hole in my other cars front bumper parking behind the Rover. The car also comes with the factory roof rack bars and keys which I removed and are in the trunk. I'll upload starting and driving videos shortly. Cheers!
@BritCarP38 no issues now with the battery holding charge. I did disconnect the RF receiver in the back as it was picking up other signals (thinking my ring) and keeping the computer awake and running the battery down. Now the car can sit for weeks and start right up. The fob still works you just need to be closer to the car. Not an issue with the car but a known design issue with the RF receiver. Thanks!
Also I see there is a tow hitch. Do you have the ball/connectors? Any driving/running videos? Thanks
Any issues with the battery and/or holding a charge? Curious to know if any issues with the alarm/central locking via the key fob as well.
Bid in the amount of $3,000
@QG thank you! I'll have pcar correct this asap!
@shutupanddrive everything is original to the car. AC is cold and everything works. The one item that acts up intermittently is the driver door window. Power is fine but I think the regulator needs replacing.
What is original to car and what’s not? Engine? Trans? Seats?
Just an FYI, photo #56 is from an Audi.
Bid in the amount of $2,500
@QG the car is an Italian market car imported 2 years ago by a dealer I've used to import cars in Florida. You can see the manuals are all in Italian- neat to see! Cheers!
Where was this vehicle originally sold, and imported from into the US?
