Understood - not a nice experience pulling 300hp out of a gruff 4 pot and generally stripped out interior to a price.

Think the jag looks fantastic and if it wasn't going to be a daily drive but a weekend car the V6 would definitely been in the running

Any opinions of the flimsy weedy paddle pull on the F type CJ? It’s put me off one tbh.

sorry - no hijack intended.
Easy fix to replace with alloy paddles. Even dealers do it. In my case I found a brand new SVR wheel on eBay for £200 so swapped (similar to ///M conversion on the Zed)
