On the vert only, and I think only up to 60. The coupe offers no manual deployment except at a standstill, and then it retracts as soon as the car starts to move.

Why in the world are there all these variations on how our spoilers operate. Jesus... vert/coupe/US/UK/model years all seem to variate the operational function.

Seems quite random.

I wish they would turn the Leapur upside down so when the spoiler comes up it's the right way up when you see it through the rear view mirror.

Or maybe not.

< tongue in cheek >

If it was a Rolls Royce I'm sure they'd have a dedicated mechanism that would rotate the logo as the spoiler came up. Being a Jag I'm not sure I'd appreciate that after the third trip to the dealer to have it replaced for rattling, wind noise and getting stuck upside down.
