I think this has the chrome side stripe of a Daimler. Or were US-market XJ40 Daimlers called Vanden Plas?

none were Daimler branded here... Vanden Plas was offered as a Jaguar trim level.

I think 80s US Jags (XJ6 and XJ40) got added chrome compared to UK equivalents, so not directly comparable across pictures. I'm not sure of the detail, but would expect a US Vdp to have more bling than this one. Unless anyone can confirm differently, the early wheels suggest just 1987+ XJ6.

Doesn't it have the same alloys the Daimler had?

i believe so... the more common, but similar alloys had center caps that exposed the lugs (like the ones on the '88 in my profile pics.)

Those are Sovereign alloys, the Daimler alloys didn't have those lug holes.

Were Daimler versions of the Jaguar XJ always Vanden Plas in the US?

if it helps at all... mine was in stock form, and only badged as an XJ6... neither Sovereign nor Vanden Plas...

Thanks - that is useful with your pic. Suggests US was only simple XJ6 or VDP, so we only have 2 possibilities to play with.

in certain years we did get Sovereign badging. i wish i knew, or recalled more. i'll try to join in the research in a day or two when things slow down for me, if it isn't thoroughly sorted by then...

I have an old Kelly Blue Book guide that I use for research, and it shows a XJ-6 Sovereign model from 1990-92. It was priced in the middle between the base and Vanden Plas models. For 1993, just the base and Vanden Plas models for the XJ-6, and the XJ-12 was re-introduced.

Whichever trim here, this is XJ6.
