I thought BMW was the only car company that has special Neiman Marcus Edition cars for sale in their Christmas Book. Last year’s Christmas Book featured the very first F02 BMW 7-Series to be sold in the US – only 31 units of a Neiman Marcus Limited-Edition 2009 BMW Individual 7 Series sedans based on the 750Li sold for $160,000. Previously we’ve also seen a special 50 unit run of a Neiman Marcus M6. All 50 units priced at US$139,000 each were snapped up within 1 minute and 32 seconds of launching.

This year, rich wives in the US will be able to choose from 50 units of a special Neiman Marcus Editiong long wheelbase Jaguar XJL based on the Supercharged version for their rich husbands. Or vice-versa. One will set you back US$105,000 (a regular XJL Supercharged is priced at US$90,500) and will come in an exclusive Celestial Black metallic paint exterior and a custom butter-soft navy and ivory leather interior with Zebrano matte wood accents. You also get 20-inch double-10 spoke polished alloy wheels, illuminated tread plates and trunk finisher as well as the nameplate inside that reads: “Neiman Marcus 1 of 50.”

    “Editiong”? I know it’s a typo, just that it’s an interesting one. It adds some French flair with a pinch of Terengganu aftertaste.

    Aiya, big company like TATA is in financial problem after buying Jaguar. If it was Proton, then tutup kedai la. Even with Lotus also they can’t give enough money for Lotus to really compete with Ferari (lotus new CEO put Lotus at the same level with Ferari once) as what WV did for Lambo.

    That’s a good observation. The wood inside was designed not to be simply decorative, but to remind an owner of a Riva luxury launch.

    The first car ever offered by Neiman Marcus was a 1968 Jaguar XKE Grand Touring Coupe. In 1997 the Neiman Marcus car was an XK8 convertible. Above the base $90,500 for the XJL Supercharged the Neiman Marcus car has adaptive cruise control ($2200), custom colors ($1000), lighted tread plates (@$500) and the full set of custom leather – unique to the car and therefore, priceless. The Neiman Marcus price is not significantly marked up to take advantage of the demand – very classy.
