i believe the engine started out life as the rover 3.5 v8 out of the SD1 but they ended up chopping two cylinders off to make it a 3 litre v6.

i think jaguar initally planned to use a v12 version of this engine but decided on charging the v6.

or were they going to use a different v12?
IIRC the Metro 6R4 was meant to originally have a 2.5 litre V6 derived from the Rover V8 engine.

But in the end it had a 3 litre V6 which was almost bespoke.
