Wanted: Manual F-Type Coupe V6S

[Yoshuey]

Looking to buy a manual coupe - V6S.

Anyone know how many of these might have been made for UK? I know manuals are rare. And even more so in S form.

I’m about to buy an M2 next week but have seen nothing come up in terms of a manual V6S coupe

206 (or 106 if your specifically after the v6S although unsure how many left)

thanks - whats a realistic price range for one of these buying a sub 40k miler? Any ideas.

Manual cars should be £4 to £5 k less than autos , although auto trader and eBay have skewed the prices by advertising autos in the manual section so their prices are all to cock.
At the end of the day manuals tend to sit for sale for months on end compared to autos. Just look at the URL for the advert on auto trader to see how many months they have been for sale.
Saying that, i am still wanting a manual one but due to them being about 1% of f types sold finding one in the spec i want will probably end up with me getting an auto eventually.

Look at an M2, then look at an F Type
Which is going to get that admirable glance?
Performance isn’t everything, but getting there in style is!

With production level between 2015 > 2020 being only about 4% it makes them quite rare. I read an article that advised people to keep them as the value will reflect this rarity. This was not the reason why I bought mine as I prefer being in control of the gearbox. I have paddles on my Honda CRV but for me it does not replace a full manual.

From the 106 v6S models made, there are 4 for sale today ranging from £35k to £40k with between 6k and 35k miles.

Do some research on clutch issues on early models - I think JLR is on a 4th generation version to overcome problems.

They are on the 4th generation clutch but I could not find any information about them. I went to JLR direct and the difficult is speaking to someone technical that knows the history of the modifications. I was told that it is common practice to make changes which seemed strange as there are very low volumes of manual cars produced (approximately 4% built between 2015 & 2020). I did see somewhere these changes to the clutch happened in the first 2yrs between 2015 & 2017.

Somewhere on this forum I am sure the clutch version history was published... cannot locate it though..

Also I don't know where 4% of sales were manuals keeps coming from. UK stats below by year. At best in 2016 it was 2.82% and overall it's way below 0.5%

Of which how many were manuals? / Percentage of total sales
2013 Total = 0 - 0.00%
2014 Total = 0 - 0.00%
2015 Total = 60 - 2.84%
2016 Total = 63 - 2.82%
2017 Total = 33 - 1.51%
2018 Total = 46 - 2.46%
2019 H1 = 4 - 0.41%

If you want an exact % I can query Gov Transport system for an exact answer if you want!
