CELEBRATE THE XJ-R X300(6) – MANUAL – NEXT YEAR
The XJ-R was introduced as a high-performance sport model, and it was Jaguar’s first-ever supercharged road car (and only the second Jaguar road car to use forced induction, after the turbocharged Jaguar XJ220.)
Jaguar X300 XJ-R Manual Day will be held on Sunday 18th August 2019
Attendance will be by invitation only, so if you own a JaguarX300 XJ-R Manual, please contact Letitia@xclusively-jaguar.co.uk

This will be a rare and historic event for the XJR6-manual group, a gathering some 24 years after the first XJR6 rolled out of the dealer's showroom. Wonder how many XJR6 RHD motors are still running, under restoration or storage.
So far there are 19 RHD cars expected to this event, though a number of owners are yet to reply. When I created the register of manual XJR6 cars, I identified owners for 56 of the RHD vehicles.
Hell, Andy, that sounds fun.
would you accept an ‘imposter’ manual, as mine was originally auto but was converted to factory-spec manual, be OnEdge, as you know.
however if I had the time /$$££ to ship a car to England from NZ i’d Probably have to opt for my dad’s Alvis 12/50. It has never had a field trip to its Coventry birth place, and next year is the centenary of Alvis....

Manual conversion will be welcome at the event. However, we would expect to see some photographic evidence of the conversion, prior to receiving an invitation, as such cars will not be on my register of factory-built manuals.
Neat event! My car will sadly have to attend from across the pond.
Anyway us yanks can get a copy of the accompanying magazine article (assuming there will be one)?

Read an car sale ad on xclusively-jaguar site that says about 40 of the 102 RHD XJR are still alive. 40% survival rate is not bad at all for a 22-25 years' old marque. Hope they can hold their value and some will be long term keepers.
No it is not. The Getrag 290 manual transmission output shaft is a externally splined shaft with an output shaft seal that runs on the ground surface of the prop shaft. This is completely different to the interface with the GM Hydramatic 4L80E automaic transmission. You will need a prop shaft from a manual car to do an auto to manual transmission conversion. I suggest yuo start a specific thread , if you have any more questions.
then have the propshaft lengthened (I don’t remember exactly how much but I think it was 2 inches) and balanced at a driveshaft place
