Wheeler Dealers: Range Rover P38
Overview
Mike has always been a fan of the big, bold and beautiful Range Rover P38, but he knows it’s hard to make a profit on these pricey-to-fix cars.

Will the SATNAV ever work again? And will they turn a profit on this modern classic? Mike and Edd head to the wilds of Exmoor to give the car a final test drive before they try to find a buyer.
