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.

@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?
