Daimler Vanden Plas 1979–1983

The Vanden Plas was the top-of-the-range model.
For the Daimler Vanden Plas we suggest 205/70 WR 15 PIRELLI CINTURATO P5.
Our period Innertube Guides state that the Vanden Plas was released on tubeless wheels, innertubes are not a requirement for the wheels to fit the tyres.
One may still want to fit innertubes to tubeless wheels; if you decide to fit tube-type tyres, suffer a puncture, or are not confident your rims are airtight.
If you do need a tube, the Michelin 15F is the correct size for these tyres.
From 1981-83 Vanden Palas models were released on 215/70-15 tyres. In this size we suggest the 215/70 WR 15 PIRELLI CINTURATO P5, and if you fit tubes, fit Michelin 15/17H.
For tyre pressure recommendations, see our fitment guides below.
Jaguar took the testing of the P5 very seriously as shown in this story.
A German car magazine conducted a Classic Car Tyre Test, on an E Type Jaguar, they found the PIRELLI P5 was be the best for classic cars with power-steering.

History of the Daimler Vanden Plas

Vanden Plas developed the Daimler DS420 limousines to replace the Austin Princess on a longer Jaguar Mark X basis. The Kingsbury Lane Vanden Plas plant manufactured the DS420 until it closed in November 1979. In 1967, the board of British Leyland determined that there was not enough money in the group advertising budget to sell both the Daimler and Jaguar brands in North America. This decision was eventually reversed, although Vanden Plas is now used on Jaguar's top premium vehicles in North America instead of Daimler.

Because ownership of the Vanden Plas brand remained with the Rover Group, after Rover was sold, Jaguar was forced to discontinue use of the name in the United Kingdom, albeit it continues to do so in America. A Daimler Double-Six Vanden Plas became a standard Daimler Double-Six in the United Kingdom.
