The Rover 75 was the last British car which was marketed in the United Kingdom bearing the Vanden Plas name.

In 1968, Princess Limousines were replaced by the Daimler DS420, which would essentially be a Jaguar car considering Jaguar had acquired Daimler eight years earlier. The DS420 was built by Vanden Plas. Jaguar's high-end luxury models in North America used the Vanden Plas model. Some of these Jaguar models are branded "Daimler" outside of North America.

A year later, the 1979 UK model range also included the Daimler Vanden Plas 4.2 and Double-Six Vanden Plas 5.3 which were a part of Jaguar XJ Series 3. These also became the most luxurious Series III variants. 1982 saw the introduction of a high-end Jaguar Vanden Plas model in the United States.

Cut to 1997, the inline 6-engines made way for the all new V8. The Jaguar Vanden Plas was offered as one of the long wheelbase options of the XJ. The option of a V8 engine was later on offered to the Vanden Plas too. A 2000 Jaguar Vanden Plas clocked 5.5 seconds to go from 0 to 100 KMPH. The only transmission available was a six-speed automatic attached to Jaguar's classic and the J-gate shifter.
