Thread: I now have a "new" P38A

Yes, I know you thought I was going to sell my P38A.

Well, I now have a later model in grey.

A Mike Summerfield rang me yesterday and told me he'd bought a new Jeep Grand Cherokee and offered me his 1996 P38A 4.6 HSE at a price that was hard to believe.

It was in fact, free, and offered as a way to thank me for the help I'd given him and many other P38A owners. I'm actually quite chuffed about being recognised in that way.

My sincere thanks to Mike and I really do appreciate his generosity.

It was even still registered albeit only until today. I could renew the registration as it doesn't require inspection.

So I picked it up today.

While it is a bit rough around the edges, e.g., dropped roof lining, fading roof paint, needs heater O-rings, etc., it drives very well (steers like a boat owing to a bit too much play somewhere) and rides very well on the Arnotts Gen 3 air bags. It is quite smooth to drive.

I don't quite know what to do with it yet.

Ron that was very nice of the Bloke, I would keep it.

Now your mate with the spare parts, do you think he would sell me the upper tailgate ?
After one with no rust and with the glass intact if I can find one.

Cheers.
