Why
won't Jag offer a manual 6 speed in the XKR? Has anyone ever seen anything official? This is the only reason I won't buy one. The j-gate is a joke for a sport coupe'.
yes I have owned one

You could always buy one and get it converted. They know that there should be one, they had it in the experimental XKR-R car. Why don't you call these boys and see if they can help you out?

Re: Why
They don't offer it because they figure it's too much trouble to certify it for so few sales. basically it's the fact that in North America even if a manual is available people order the Automatic, yet whine when a manufacturer drops the option due to lack of sales!!!
I like a standard but have 3 daughters all in booster/baby seats. Hard to find a manual transmission in a car big enough, whether older or present. personally, I think jag is letting a part of their market go by the wayside on this, but who knows, maybe it'll show up one day. Hell, even the new Ford Lightning's getting a manual-there may be hope yet!!
