Overview of 2001 Jaguar XJ Vanden Plas For Sale by Owner

“That’s the best Jag, probably, ever made” – Jeremy Clarkson on the X308 XJ. He was talking about the XJR there, but it’s a sentiment that can be applied to the entire X308 lineup. The Vanden Plas was the top-of-the-range model sold in the US (equivalent to the Daimler that was made for other markets). They came with softer suspension, all the luxury features and options, and Vanden Plas trim and badging. The X308 often tends to get confused with the X300, which is quite understandable. The visual differences are minimal, with the major changes being the new dashboard, bumpers, and engine options.

Exterior and Interior

White on tan is a classic color combination for a vehicle of this category. Being a Vanden Plas, it comes with more chrome than the lower spec XJ8s (including chrome door mirrors and body side moldings), and this one even has polished chrome wheels. All this chrome works well with the white exterior to achieve the old-school limo appearance. The tan leather interior and generous use of wood trim also contribute to this. Even the steering wheel is made of wood and leather, with the roaring Jaguar embossed in the center. There’s no question of unnecessarily large touchscreens on this car; every function has a tactile button. Some of the significant changes in the new dashboard include the new gauge cluster and the addition of a glovebox (which was not seen in XJs since the XJ40 got airbags). As a Vanden Plas, it also has wooden picnic tables for the rear passengers, and front passenger seat controls for the rear. This car is also equipped with a sunroof, heated mirrors, cruise control, keyless door locks, and a 9-speaker sound system. The owner also states that a backup beep sensor has been installed.

Engine

A big part of a Jag is the power unit under the hood. The inline-six and V12 were discontinued with the X300, and the X308 was Jaguar’s first V8-only model. It came with a choice of 3.2L, 4.0L NA, and 4.0SC engines (only the 4.0 options were available in the US market). This car has the naturally aspirated 4.0 with a 5-speed automatic. The seller reports that servicing is up to date and that this car has only 64,571 miles on it. It also comes with two keys.
