The Jaguar XJ was the last model to have the personal input of the company's founder, Sir William Lyons. Introduced in 1968, the XJ is renowned for maintaining its old-school appearance and charm while being upgraded to match technological advancements over the years. This particular 1988 Jaguar XJ6 Vanden Plas is from the XJ40 generation of 1986-1994. Packing just 60,000 miles on it, this car is from the highest trim level, called the Vanden Plas. If you want a slice of old-school British luxury that tastefully includes some modern comforts, this car is the way to get it.
Exterior and Interior
This 1988 Jaguar XJ6 Vanden Plas has aged like fine wine and wears a suitable Metallic Red color to highlight that fact. The car is also said to roll on premium wheels and features dual headlamps up front. The rear showcases a set of smoked lighting clusters and dual exhausts beneath the elongated North American-mandated bumper. Tasteful Jaguar and Vanden Plas badging complete this car's overall exterior package, and it's one that you'll relish being seen in. Now for the interior, which includes wood grain interior trim and beige leather seating. Up to five occupants can comfortably travel in this luxury British car, but four would be best with the rear seat armrest deployed. This 1988 Jaguar XJ6 Vanden Plas reportedly has functional air conditioning and heating, with rear air vents too. Other amenities include cruise control, a sunroof, power windows, and power door locks. The front bucket seats are power-adjustable, and you'll find the original Jaguar-branded radio cassette player within the center console, connected to a decent speaker system that can still impress today. Behind the passenger cabin lies a spacious trunk, highlighting the XJ's role as a long-distance traveler.
Engine
This 1988 Jaguar XJ6 Vanden Plas features a 3.6L AJ6 in-line six-cylinder engine as its powerplant. You can expect around 210hp and 240lb-ft as its outputs, sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission. Four-wheel disc brakes are on hand for ample stopping power, while power steering eases effort, particularly when parking and maneuvering the car at low speeds.
