No worries! I'd love to get my hands on it (to grab its CAN etc messages) but a bit impractical as we're not exactly close!!

The 6 cylinder S Types are factory limited at 121 MPH as is noted in the shop manual. Mainly because of the speed rating of the tires fitted at the factory.

The STR's are set at 155 MPH. Interesting note: The 2011 Jaguar XKR has a "Speed Pack" option which has a 174 mph speed limiter!!

I just glanced through my 06 factory brochure and it is stated in there that the 4.2 STR has a limiter at 155 MPH.
