Up for sale in our Tampa showroom is this truly custom 1-off build, the 1986 Jaguar XJ6 Vanden Plas. Known originally for being a very high end luxury car, this one here has been transformed to combine the idea of American horsepower as well. Custom built with a GM LT1 fuel injected engine, this car has become one-of-a-kind, both the engine and transmission were pulled from a Corvette, to be better purposed for a Jaguar. The Jaguar name, since its inception in the 1930's, have been synonomous with high end luxury, and this car has not forgotten its roots. The interior is lined in a beautiful beige leather seating, that holds you in place and doesn't allow you to forget what kind of car you are sitting in. The dashboard is done in all original fashion, starting from its luxurious burlwood dash, to the blonde steering wheel, as Jaguar has always been a fan of picking the highest quality wood finishes to show off just how high end they are. The exterior is factory painted in a beautiful black paint, that doesn't need to be filled with a lot of metal flake to make a statement, since the idea is that a car shouldn't be flashy to be seen. Going back to the engine, as stated, both the engine and transmission were pulled from a donor Corvette to be repurposed into this Jaguar, With the engine being an iron block LT1, that did a fantastic job of blowing past the competition all the way up into the early 2000's. The transmission is a 4-speed automatic that still allows you to sit back and enjoy to ride, if you don't feel like shifting gears. The 1986 Jaguar XJ6 Vanden Plas is a fantastic example of what you can do if you have imagination and a little ingenuity, and is available for sale here today! Options include A/C, Power Sunroof, Power Brakes, Power Steering, Power Seats, Power Windows, Seat Belts, Leather Interior, Radial Tires and a sweet LT1 V8 and 4-speed automatic transmission.
