Vanden Plas vs. V12 Comparison

Being a Jaguar affictionado, I have owned several Vanden Plas over the years. They have all proven to be exceptional automobiles. The V12 was no excpion. The only problem I had with the V12 was very poor fuel economy. The 6 cylinder VDP's provided excellent performance and deliver 16-17 mpg in town & 21-23 on the highway, far surpassing the V12 in economy while offering all the features & luxury of the 12 cylinder.

What a classic luxury to own !

British dynasty, such a smooth and comfortable classic luxury, worth every penny to have and to drive, at least once in your life. If you haven't drive a classic luxury, this is one to own.
