There are always opportunities to acquire very special vehicles. One of these opportunities is now, just before Christmas. Because with the Arden A-Type, an exclusive one-off is for sale. This particular car is not only rare because it is an Arden, but the German-Briton was actually built specifically for presentations and as a press vehicle.
The Arden A-Type, a modified Jaguar XKR X100, offers a successful combination of performance and high-quality design and is currently on sale. This vehicle has made a name for itself as a former presentation vehicle and has been featured in several press articles. The equipment is of course exorbitant.
The Arden A-Type is equipped with a powerful 4.4-liter engine that generates 462 horsepower. Thanks to optimised intercooling, the engine delivers both more power and comparatively good efficiency. The suspension technology was specially developed by Arden to improve both dynamics and ride comfort. The Arden brake system ensures a high level of safety and reliability in sporty driving conditions.
The exterior design of the rare vehicle is distinguished by a striking front apron, dynamic side skirts and a pronounced rear apron. An integrated spoiler and individually designed mirrors complete the overall picture and also improve the car's aerodynamics. According to Arden, these design elements not only contribute to the visual attractiveness, but also have a positive effect on driving stability.
A special aspect of the Arden A-Type is the specially developed exhaust system, which not only increases performance, but also really sets the scene for the sound of the beefy V8 engine. Inside, the vehicle impresses with high-quality materials and ergonomically designed Recaro sports seats. Lots of brown leather and burl wood make the interior look very British.
With a mileage of only 110,000 km, this Arden A-Type is in very good condition and has been regularly serviced. The vehicle offers the opportunity to acquire a piece of automotive heritage, which could certainly be very interesting for enthusiasts and collectors. However, a price has not yet been announced.
Incidentally, Arden was founded in 1979 by Franz-Josef Arden in Germany and quickly became synonymous with high-quality modifications of British vehicles, especially the Jaguar and Land Rover brands. Originally started as a small tuning company, Arden has specialized in refining and increasing the performance of these vehicles.
