This is the same car as the Daimler Double-Six. Also, the Vanden Plas is the four-passenger variant of the same five-seat XJ12/DD6.

XJ12 6.0 competition

Nice styling and superb interior materials as well as very durable exterior paint on these early \'90s Jaguars. I still have a six cylinder version of this as a winter car. A 1994 XJ6 Vanden Plas (similar to the UK Daimler 4.0). Unfortunately the performance of either the V12 or the I6 is greatly deficient when compared to most modern cars.

I really like the classic XJ design (unlike new Tata derivative) but this gen. has front grill looking awkwardly BMW-like.
Also it's road abilities and unmatched grace and smoothness reward the driver and passengers(pedestrians too),but performance of a 6 liter V12 is a bit poor.
Fuel consumption not to mention...
