AFAIK they're all auto, I may be wrong though. Yet to see a manual one anyway!

Yeah they're all auto, apparently they only made an xkr-r which was auto but didnt bring it out due to its ability to spank a db7. when jag and aston were siter companys they didnt want that happening.

I would have one of these all day long, few things put me off, back seat is just for fun, the convertible hood needs you to get out and push pop studs in to the cover and my mate said he was going to write me a CD of Austin Powers songs to play in it.

Would be nice to have a big lazy V8 cruiser to balance the stupid rotary out.

Love these especially the racing eddition ones.
Also love the later XJR's too, serious mucle! A guy who lived accross the road from me used to chaufeur the Jag Execs around and often was given pre production cars drive for 6 months at a time.
Its laughable that someone could even think a VTS would keep in any instance or want an MR2 over a super charged V8

That is a very good looking car indeed.
And 400 brake? You can keep your Saxos/Civics

I like them when they first came out. But the styling doesn't work for me anymore. They sit really high too.

Went out in it last night up birmingham. Was mad because we got some looks off the ladies even though there were the little asian lads in their porsche's.
Great car though and we got 33.4 mpg driving round town and 38 on the motorway

better mpg than my puma
love these. they don't look dated to me. they have a nice side profile and your mates one looks great in black.
only negative thing i can say about them is that the aerial is huge, looks like a dodgem.

There's one of these forsale locally for just under £5.5k! Very cheap car for what it is. If I was older i'd probably buy it.
