At Home - Cheap Cars that are Cool - 1999 Ranger Rover P38 Callaway

We have a new flip car in the shop and we think it’s pretty cool. It is a 1999 Ranger Rover P38. Not just any P38 though, a Callaway Performance variant! Tyler W has always loved the body lines on these SUVs and when a green Callaway presented itself nearby, he had to go get it. Take a trip down memory lane and feel like you’re on top of the world…. in 1999.

I have had mine for a year now, under rated cars. The Callaway is neat too. Best driving position, greenhouse is excellent and you sit up top.
I think they get a worst rep then they should, they are known to have tons of electric gremlins but now being a 20+ year old car there is tons of info out there on them and tons of knowledgeable people and most has been figured out, plenty out there that have no lights on the dash and are working as they should. But just like any old car they need maintenance. Cruise control buttons are the bottom ones on the steering wheel. Is this one still on air suspension?

Great find for the price! Especially with EAS. Sorting it is going to give you some brain damage, but there is so much info and good help online via FB and RRnet from folks keeping these on the road. I honestly don't know why discos of this era get all the love over the P38.

That's why you convert it to coil springs. There is no point in fixing that system and is will never ever ever be fixed and done. I drove my Callaway on the Bumbstops several times and finally had enough. The guage cluster will light up like a Christmas Tree any time of year. Extreme rare and awesome vehicles but so unreliable it's disturbing.

We love these. Definitely a diamond in the rough if you have the patience to own one.
