Current 3D printing technology has gone way beyond plastic bits. "Print" media now include steel and aluminum:

Recently there was a question about the existence of an AJ16 XJS with manual transmission. Also over the years, I have often been asked how many 4.0L 5 speed XJS's were sold in the US. I have done a bit of research on the web but never found any concrete answers other than some educated guesses.
So I sent an email to the archivist at JLR asking for 5 speed production numbers by body style for the US and Canada. After speaking to a specialist for this area, the archivist responded with the following:-
"I did the figures for US and Canada for XJS facelift manual cars.
1992 Coupe - 33 Canada only
1993 Coupe - 37 US and 4 Can
1993 Convertible - 62 US and 4 Can
1993 2+2 - 2 US and 4 Can
1994 Coupe - 19 US only
1994 2+2 - 56 US and 2 Can
There was none in 1995 or 1996. There was approximately 70 Manual AJ16 engine XJSs and none were sold to the USA. It doesn't mean none have been imported though."
Remember these are calendar year production figures, so some cars produced in 92 may be 93MY and some in 1993 may be 94MY.
So a total of 176 cars for the US and 47 for Canada. A manual AJ16 looks to be a very rare bird and if someone did bring one over here, it's probably the only one!
That ends this public service announcement

I don’t believe the above information is correct as I currently own a 1993 5 speed, 4.0 6 cylinder and it was an official import by Jaguar. I have the original paperwork from the selling dealer in 1993.

I have had two 5 speed 4.0 litre XJS Facelift coupes. The first was a 1992 in British Racing Green with the Cotswold Tweed interior. It was an amazing car to drive. I sold it 15 years ago to purchase a 1995 Rose / Bronze convertible XJS. I always regretted selling it have been searching for another for years.
I remembered seeing a gorgeous red XJS at the 1992 International Auto Show in Vancouver. It had a 5 speed transmission, full leather interior and a beautiful wooden steering wheel.
I recently found and purchased the car from an 86 year old woman who had purchased the car on the Auto Show floor in March 1992. The car is in spectacular original condition with only 37,000 kms. It has been in a shop since I purchased it having the rubber components of the suspension changed along with new tires and other maintenance upgrades. I have yet to drive it, and I am really looking forward to it.
