Vehicle Description
Jaguars have always been a special kind of luxury car. They wrap
you in sumptuous leather and beautiful wood. They inspire
confidence with their handling whether its driving through traffic
or sporting down a country road. They have comfortable
accommodations for several passenger and plenty of space in the
trunk for luggage, golf clubs, or anything else you need to carry.
Check out this beautiful XJ Vanden Plas edition and see what we
mean.
The long lean lines of this cat are dressed in a shade of blue/gray
called Zircon Metallic. It's the original paint with a nice shine
to it that reflects the light off its smooth curves as it moves
down the street. Up front there is the iconic leaping Jaguar on the
hood with a growling Jag badge just below it on the chrome grill.
The front end of the car looks like it was sculpted by the wind
with lines running up the center of the hood and valleys carved out
starting at the headlights running back. The windshield rakes back
steeply to cut through the air smoothly and extends on back
creating plenty of quite comfortable space for you and your
passengers. The door handles blend into the upper body crease and
there are protective body side moldings along the midline. A splash
of chrome dresses out the bumper and the trunk lid along with a
Vanden Plas edition badge.
While the styling of a Jag makes a statement, the interior is where
you will spend your time. Open the door and get ready to experience
true luxury with the premium Vanden Plas treatment on full display
in this interior. It is a two-tone treatment of tan leather seats
with brown piping, cream carpets, and burled wood accents. The
burled wood graces the dash board, console, door panels, and even
the drop-down panels on the back of the front seats for your
back-seat passengers. Now that's luxury! Settle in to the
comfortable, leather, power seat and make yourself comfortable.
It's like sitting in an office with a nice desk and shelving, but
this office has a wood and leather steering wheel too. There is
power everything with climate control and a nice stereo for your
listening pleasure. The controls are clearly labeled with easy to
operate switches. You will be traveling in the lap of luxury with
plenty of room in the trunk for whatever you care to bring with
you.
The engine and drivetrain on this car will be quietly going about
its business while you are traveling so that you can enjoy all that
luxury. There is a 4.2-liter V8 engine that is powerful and smooth
quietly getting the job done without a lot of drama. Pop the hood,
(which hinges at the front in traditional Jaguar fashion), and you
will find that everything is neat and clean in the engine bay. The
power that V8 makes is sent back through a 4-speed automatic
transmission with overdrive to the rear wheels. There are power
four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes that inspire confidence and power
rack and pinion steering working in conjunction with a fully
independent suspension for a smooth ride on the highway and that
legendary Jaguar handling on the backroads. You can head out on
holiday with confidence, in luxury, and just enjoy the ride.
Come on down and check out this beautiful Vanden Plas XJ. You may
decide that this is the car you want to spend some time
driving.
