1989 Vanden Plas?

Hey guys, i'm looking to purchase an 89 Vaden Plas, the guy i'm getting it from doesn't have a clue really about it, and neither do i. Could someone please help point me in the right direction... is it an XJ? or what type of model would it be? Thanks in advance!!!

It's the fancy version of the XJ8, just more bling and amenities. The body (except for a bit of trim) and drivetrain are identical.

You have to use XJ40 Forums . I am moving your thread off to the proper location

The above advice about the XJ8 still applies. The VDP is the same as the base model with an upgrade on trim options.

I think they mean its a fancier version of the XJ6 (aka XJ40). However, I'd stay away from the 88-90 models, as they are known to have numerous electrical issues.

Did they replace the electrical system with a better one on XJ40 from 91 - 94?
