Will its price increase?
What sort of condition is it in, and is it kept somewhere where it won't deteriorate further?

Many see the P38 as the last proper RR, it is probably the last that can be worked on relatively easily, unlike the L322. I am a RRC owner so pre BMW😀, but as with any vehicle it is usually special editions or low survival rates that have most bearing on value; me, I'd keep it but then I am a sucker for older vehicles that work

I have been pleasantly surprised lately just how many of them I have seen in daily use.

I've had my P38 for 10 years and 60,000 miles. It is getting a little baggy now, but I just love it. It has been very reliable and good on fuel on lpg.
I think I will spend some serious dosh on it soon. The way I see it is that it isn't worth a lot as it gets used most days. And for towing and as a van. If I were daft enough to want an L322 etc I would need to find about £10K for a reasonable one, so £3K on the P38 makes sense.

Nice to see the P38 finally being appreciated. The price of good ones is bound to rise soon. That car probably owes you nothing now. If you like it, keep it. Why not? They are lovely.

Yes, it is good to see P38 getting some recognition!

Nearly 2 years with my 2000 2.5DSE and I am still captivated by its charms.

Imperious driving position, quality traditional interior that still smells of leather plus enough classic cred to do the occasional show. There's a lot to like for a sub £2K car.

Money pit? Not so far. Timely DIY maintenance and a friendly indy specialist for the more difficult stuff seems to work OK for me.

Values are bound to follow the Classic model eventually and I don't mind waiting. If the cost of looking after it gets covered by rising value, even in the long term, I'll be well pleased.
