1997 Land Rover Range Rover Description

SELLING MY RANGE ROVER P38 COLLECTION. I also have two (2) 2002 Westminster's (100K and 145K); a 2002 Rhino Edition (86K Miles One Owner); 1999 Callaway (165K); 1999 Cameron Concepts (155K--Supercharged Bosch); 1996 Cameron Concepts (160K--Supercharged GEMS); 2000 Range Rover--White (66K Miles with complete top hat rebuild with 5 Miles since rebuild--have pictures and receipts), so if you are interested in one or all of these, please call me at: (702) 281-6999. My name is Chris.

THIS LISTING IS FOR MY 1997 VITESSE WITH 157K MILES.

As you can see from the pictures, it is in very nice condition with only the following minor blemishes: (1) Small hole in the base of the front passenger seat; and (2) Paint fade on the hood and roof from the harsh UV rays out here in sunny Las Vegas. Up side is that itis a West Coast car in Very Good Condition with NO RUST to speak of. I am a Rover collector and know all of the usual faults. The motor is strong--no slipped sleeve problems here. The air suspension has been completely refurbished including new air bags x 4 and the compressor rebuilt. The HVAC display has been repaired. The heater core "O" rings have been replaced. The sunroof closes completely--no broken tracks. Tires are like new and the factory rims are free from any major curb rash. Comes complete with Cargo Cover; Factory Key Fob and Front Grille Guard. I will throw in a factory roof rack to buyer that exercises the BIN.

Carfax states that it was involved in an accident in early 2015, but this is inaccurate. I bought it from the tow truck company that towed the Rover and it was simply towed because the air suspension had failed and it was on its bump stops and not driveable. However, as I mentioned above, I replaced all of the air bags and even installed a Fast Kit Emergency Bypass system ($400.00 value), so it won't ever be stranded on the bump stops anytime soon.

Vitesse Edition Specifics:

The Vitesse Edition models were a special edition for 1997 and cost $3,000 more than the standard HSE were paintedAA Yellow & Monza Red. 250 were built in 1997 (100-150 in yellow and 100-150 in red). Vitesse is French for “Speed”.The Vitesse edition had all the standard HSE items and ash blackleather seats with yellow or red piping .The side mirrors and lower part of the front bumper were painted body color and they has a “blackout grille” (darker plastic than the grills on other models).The inside door handles were chrome rather than black (chrome interior door handles were on all 2000-2002 Range Rover HSEs).The Vitesse came standard with the 300-watt 10 amp Harmon Kardon 12-speaker sound system with “parametric equalization” and “active dual-driver subwoofer”.A total of 100 to 150 of each color were sold made (Land Rover Special Edition Brochure from 1997 said a total of 250 of the red and yellow “high impact color” Vitesse editions would be produced).Land Rover sold very few yellow Range Rovers and other than the 1997 Vitesse the only other yellow P38 Range Rovers were a small number of non-Vitesse AA yellow Range Rovers in 1997, the special TREKcompetitionmodels and the Borego Edition in 2002.
