STORY

Vanden Plas denoted Jaguar's most luxurious long-wheelbase saloon trim, the coachbuilder's name applied to top-line XJ models. On the X308 generation it marked the flagship 4.0-litre V8 saloon with extended rear legroom and premium appointments. The badge signified the pinnacle of comfort and equipment in the range.
