This is no ordinary P38! In 1997, with increased demand for their Autobiography programme, Land Rover Special Vehicles turned P880 KAC (already an Autobiography in its own right) into a mobile office concept. With a rumoured development budget of ú450,000, this special car was used as a pilot/testbed vehicle to showcase different options for future Autobiography customers. Land Rover approached Noel Edmonds' company, Unique Group, to help supply some of the technology, with the intention to market these options to new Autobiography owners across Land Rover dealerships. As a result, it was used by Sony, Cellnet and Land Rover themselves as a promotional vehicle.
The state-of-the-art spec (25 years ago) includes a dual phone system, HP printer, laptop set up, Sony VHS System, Web Cams, Black-box video recording and Sony Infrared Headphones. After LR-SVO were done with the car, Noel bought 'P880KAC' himself to save it from being dismantled and it has passed between further owners since.
Coming to auction needing a little love and attention this special car still represents extraordinary value for money when you consider the budget and technology (at the time) put into this car initially and looks like an unrepeatable opportunity.
