-Clean CarFax! Two owners since new!
-California car until 2023!
The pinnacle of Jaguar long-wheelbase luxury, this 1999 Vanden Plas combines British elegance with an exceptionally low 54,285 original miles and a timeless design. Finished in the rare factory Amaranth exterior over an Ivory leather interior, this flagship saloon displays true executive proportions. Power comes from Jaguar's 4.0-liter double overhead camshaft 32-valve V8 engine. Amenities include a power glass sunroof/moonroof, extended rear-seat legroom, and traditional boxwood-inlaid burl walnut wood trim throughout the cabin. What a beauty!
BODY OVERVIEW:
The extended wheelbase profile of the Vanden Plas presents with long, sweeping body panels, crisp shoulder lines, and uniform gap alignments along the doors, hood, and boot lid. Distinctive exterior touches including the signature fluted chrome radiator grille, fluted rear boot plinth, and dual coachlines across the body. The power glass sunroof fits flush within the roof structure, and all brightwork retains a reflective finish consistent with a low-mileage garaged example. As expected for the mileage and low ownership history, dings and other damages are at an extreme minimum.
PAINT CONDITION OVERVIEW:
The factory Amaranth finish—a distinctive deep-purple hue offered selectively by Jaguar during this era—displays a deep glossy reflection and uniform color clarity throughout. A detailed inspection reveals minimal light road wear consistent with gentle usage over its 54,285 miles. Buyers should refer to the photos to see minor scrapes/scratches, consistent with the age and mileage. The clear coat retains its luster without notable clear-coat failure, offering a sophisticated alternative to standard silver or black executive sedans and giving this refined luxury machine a touch of fun!
INTERIOR CONDITION OVERVIEW:
The extended cabin showcases supple Ivory leather across the front power bucket seats and spacious rear bench, offset by dark piping and rich burl walnut veneer featuring signature Vanden Plas inlay work. The upholstery shows minimal creasing and bolstering wear, reflecting the low recorded mileage. Factory accoutrements such as rear tray tables and heated rear seats are a reminder that this wasn’t just a car in 1999–this was a lifestyle. From the beautiful wood trim throughout to the timeless switches and gauges up front, reminders are everywhere that the lifestyle was pure luxury. Buyers should note that as is common with Jaguar XJs, the rear of the headliner is starting to sag.
MECHANICAL OVERVIEW:
Under the reverse-opening bonnet sits the naturally aspirated 4.0-liter DOHC 32-valve V8, delivering smooth, linear power delivery paired with a 5-speed automatic transmission. The engine bay presents in clean, unmodified condition, housing factory plumbing and covers, all clean and tidy. Power steering, power four-wheel disc brakes, and the long-wheelbase double-wishbone rear suspension operate together to provide the signature supple ride quality expected of a traditional British luxury flagship. Make no mistake though; in true Jaguar fashion, this luxury land yacht handles very well and shouldn’t be confused with the boat-like ride of American land yachts of days gone by!
WHAT YOU'LL LOVE ABOUT THIS CAR:
The combination of the low mileage and the uncommon Amaranth over Ivory color scheme makes this Vanden Plas stand apart from more typical examples, and the condition is what takes it over the top. The extended wheelbase offers vast rear legroom and airliner-style tray tables, turning every drive into a proper chauffeur-grade experience, while the naturally aspirated V8 provides quiet cruising power.
WHAT YOU MIGHT HATE ABOUT THIS CAR:
Enthusiasts looking for a nimble, sports-oriented driver or a manual transmission setup may perhaps be disappointed to find that the Vanden Plas comfort-first ride dynamics are tuned strictly for traditional luxury. Additionally, drivers who prefer modern digital touchscreens may not be pleased with the late-1990s analog switchgear and audio controls.
DOES IT NEED ANYTHING?
The vehicle is mechanically functional, presents as a well-kept low-mileage cruiser, and is ready for immediate enjoyment! Buyers should note that the driver’s rear door lock must be actuated manually, the driver’s power mirror adjusts intermittently, and the rearview mirror is beginning to delaminate (though that one is to be expected with a European luxury car of this vintage, no matter the mileage).
WHAT BUYER IS LOOKING FOR THIS CAR?
This Vanden Plas appeals to the discerning collector or Jaguar enthusiast seeking a low-mileage, long-wheelbase XJ saloon in an uncommon color combination, ideal for weekend touring, local car gatherings, or simple, classic luxury commuting.
