So, where were you running around to find that one?

Saw it on my run to Austin last Sunday. It's on a road we've traveled before going to COTA, north of Wimberley.

Who knew the Europs could get a big Jag with a 5 speed manual?

I knew, but my remembrance is only with the 3.6 motor, not the 4.0. Getrag 5 speed. Not available in the US tho....

They also made a VERY limited number of XJS with the 5 speed manual for the US, I had a coupe for a demo for about 6K miles and I loved it as I had my E Type then too, and it just felt like a brand new version of that car, but modern of course. If only it wasn't $50K+! And that was in '92....

They even made a very few (50?) convertibles with the 5 speed and 4.0 6 cylinder, great combination. They never offered the stick with the V-12 here, tho.
Complete failure at retirement - but getting better!

I was at the same British car show where Bruce spotted the 5-speed Jag.  I had my new toy there.
