It is a gorgeous car. Not that expensive when compared with equivalent Porsches etc.
That's the V6 you've photographed (if that was you), with the twin central tail pipes. As used in the Bowler DC, engine, auto gearbox and pipes. Awesome. Prefer the sound of the V8 quad pipes:

Wasn't my photo, just added it here as it was the same model as I saw.
The rear is the same with twin pipes so as you say the one I saw wasn't the V8. Never the less, quite rapid I'd have thought! $W33T $0U7H3RN $UG4R 🇬🇧ðŸ´ó §ó ¢ó ¥ó ®ó §ó ¿ðŸ´ó §ó ¢ó ·ó ¬ó ³ó ¿ðŸ´ó §ó ¢ó ³ó £ó ´ó ¿ðŸ‡®ðŸ‡ªðŸ‡ºðŸ‡¸â›½ï¸ðŸ›¢ï¸âš™ï¸ðŸ§°ðŸ’ª |

Sister in law has a V6 coupe in white.
Bit of a handful in London but other than that an excellent car. According to her (and a few others she has spoken to) the top spec V8 is not worth the extra money, even the Jag salesman told her that as well so there must be something in it ! Probably fine for autobahns/track days and posing 
She has got the active exhaust on hers (it was an option when she got hers, now standard I think ) and the sound is something else !

That age were just V12 but bang on 50/50 weight distribution make them surprisingly agile for a big engine. Body work is mostly plastic though |

I've been offered an F Type by JLR to try as part of our fleet arrangement with them, I had to think for all of about 2 secs before accepting their offer
