Nice looking car. Very similar to my XJ6 Vanden Plas that is sitting idle in my garage back East. The manual transmission option would have made this luxury car much more involving and quicker than the sluggish (but reliable) four speed automatic. I don't think this XJR model, or the five speed manual was ever made available in the U.S. unfortunately.
