think I just bought one

Will let you know what I think when it arrives and I've had a proper look at it.

The pipe going up the A pillar looks a bit small in diameter compared to the ones we used to make through Hard Range. Now that Hard Range is gone (as is my blue P38 with the HRA snorkel) I just have the black P38 so am in the market for a new snorkel anyway.

Seems reasonable... but one would need to examine how well it's put together.
My observation of others' efforts in this regard is that a snorkel won't address a major design flaw: when the water level gets towards the height of the wheel , it's also flowing past the seals in the driver's door and in danger of flooding the BECM etc, let alone rusting out the floor because of the thickness of carpet and underlay...all soggy into the bargain.

I reckon the p38 RR , once the door seals are gaffa taped (the cheap stuff)
and a snorkles fitted, is a reasonable wader. I believe crossing rivers that are over half a metre deep is crazy for any make of vehicle or river. Ive seen all sorts of vehicles come unstuck in river crossings. I appreciate getting "caught out" as such but as a 4WDing guide line, it should rule . Ring up and find out if the rivers "are up" before a trip and that might help things.

All the Best

A great find and a good price. I will await Pauls expert opinion. Shame they dont do a lot for the cars looks, I would love to see one in the flesh.

Yes; would love to get Paul's opinion and a photo or two.
I tend to think the p38 body may be almost water tight if the drain holes in the doors and lower tailgate are tapped over.

There also appears to be a very simular snorkel in the Terrafirma catalouge

hmmm! Southdown product but, no image , no product data.

Paul if it looks like a 'goodun' would we be able to do a bulk purchase direct from the manufacturer, or from this person on e-bay ?
i'm sure we could get enough takers........& it's raining cats & dogs here at present, so i'd be in for sure.
