I just purchased a 1985 XJ6 Sedan 4.0L.

VIN: SAJV1347FC430689.

I want to purchase dash board covers but the vendor requires I indicate "Base" or "Vanden Plas" for the rear dash cover.

I'm trying to figure out if it is a Vanden Plas or a Base sedan.

What is the difference?

Not sure of the differences on an '85 but i would think if it is a Vanden Plas, it would badged as such.

Give your dealer the last 6 digits of your Vin
They should be able to tell you what model it is
Base models are entry level
Vanden Plas are higher spec

If it's Vanden Plas I think it'll be badged as such on the rear, and probably elsewhere in the car. Vanden Plas is how Jaguar badged the Daimler specification in the USA.
