1992-1994 Jaguar XJ40 Vanden Plas Majestic

Grace, Space, and Pace is the Jaguar motto

The 1992-1994 Jaguar XJ40 Vanden Plas Majestic was the LWB saloon of which only 121 vehicles were built. These cars began as SWB units, removed from the assembly line and stretched by Project Aerospace in Coventry. They were returned to Jaguar’s Special Vehicle Operations for hand finishing. The Vanden Plas was built for the US market but badged as Daimler for the European markets.

The Daimler/Vanden Plas models may be identified by the single rectangular headlamps, fluted radiator grill surround and boot lid plinth. The Daimler/Vanden Plas models were the highest level of luxury and elegance. They both were the ultimate grand tourers that epitomized the Jaguar brand. The Vanden Plas Majestic is a very rare and beautiful car.

A ZF 4HP24E 4-speed automatic transmission with overdrive was standard. It used a double wishbone suspension with a self leveling system.

    thank you in advance for your help.
    best regards Edwin Caruana Carsons.

    • Hello Edwin! These cars are becoming increasingly rare these days so it is contingent upon a seller parting with a pristine example which is very very seldom. Usually the ones that hit the auction block have a few hidden surprises. These cars can be prolific nightmares so be very careful and look before you leap. ALWAYS take the car to a professional BEFORE you purchase it!!!!
