Well I have been giving this some thought and I am really considering buying a Range Rover, I saw I believe was 95 or 96 P38 for sale, and was just wondering if those models came with a Center Locking Diff? Or was that just the Range Rover Classic? I really am interested, but if they only come with tractions control, I think I might just look for a Range Rover Classic.

P38 Rovers come with the Borg Warner transfer case that does not lock.

Classic models before 1989 came with the Lt230 locking diff box.

Yes, 1989 or 90 on they came (Classics and then all P38's) with chain-driven Borg-Warner transfer case. Do not be fooled by no "actual" diff lock. They have a viscous coupling unit which acts on the center differential. The VCU is entirely mechanical in operation. It will provide 50-50 f/r lockup as a locked center diff for the duration of torque applied after inital slippage, or during high-torque situations. In addition, the P38's and some Classics have traction control as a supplement. The VCU's do not wear out and work exceptionally well. The only reason I would steer you away from a P38 is the $$ maintenance.
