1987 Jaguar XJ6 Vanden Plas 4.2L

Description for Jaguar XJ6 1987

Alpine green metallic. Cream leather interior. Owned by one family from 1987 until 8/11. I'm the second owner. This is the Vanden Plas model with plush floor mats and rear head restraints. The car has been garaged its entire life. The car has a vintage cell phone installed in the center armrest with the vintage antenna attached to the rear window.
