This sir is the only S-Type R manual on the road they never made one manual other than a V6 layman's terms you have to get the V6 parts third pedal shifter linkage and then you have to do a massive amount of converting for the transmission and everything else this sir is what you call carporn probably one of the greatest builds ever in my opinion coming from SoCal Mina galleries where I get all my Jaguar parts and they told me that in the history of their company they could only think of five manuals S type r's all five were race cars you can see one online if you type in S-Type race car Red Bull V8 series the fact that Dale went this far makes him a genius in my opinion because of the car I have always wanted unfortunately the only thing I couldn't do on my build was the transmission swap
@@dfweurocars no the S-Type sold tons of manuals in V6 and Diesel but obviously the torque and the stress numbers are different for the lower-powered engines watch Meguiars build they will explain all
@@dfweurocars this is something that a lot of S-Type owners and a lot of XJ owners have contemplated doing over the years yet it is very cost-prohibitive easier to do in England since the Jaguar Factory is there and the availability of tons of spare parts remember that there are a lot of models that are only offered in Europe that are not offered in the United States
headlighsts are the esence of this car and what unites it to the Jaguar MK2 pedigree, it has character, not like current Jags that could be any other brand if you change the badge
@@jorgemirat647 I think he probably ment the tape on all and tint on the inner high beams that harkens back to racing saloons of the 50s and 60s rather than actual design of them
I love the 1950s style Dunlop wheels, they add a sense of the Jaguar heritage and continuity to it.
Amazing, S-type R manual with some awesome wheels. Love the throwback. Bravo!!
Absolutely gorgeous...Carporn...This is how i want my STR to look,just a stunning build ..
This is my kind of a daily Jag.
I have one but it’s hard to fix
This jaguar has emotion. Love it
A manual gearbox in an STR?! WHAT MANNER OF SORCERY IS THIS?????🙀
What a gorgeous STR. Amazing job.
God this thing is beautiful
I like that S type r.
In the moment - to buy one,
it's cheap for much horsepower -
with a superchargered engine !
I have one for sale if your still in the market.
Amazing

What's with all the jags in the beginning? I'd happily daily the Jag limo

@@joblessmike2423 makes sense, i imagine those original manual parts from the v6 models were rare..

Bruh id pay 50k for an STR with manual
music wasnt necesary
Headlights ruin it, but great build

Nothing wrong with the headlights.
The headlights in yellow compliment the exterior color.
