Re: What is your car history?

Does get you thinking, doesn’t it?! Mk 1 Escort, canary yellow! 12 years old. Had it 12 months. Went to MOT it and they wouldn’t give it back, it was so unsafe! Opel Kadett (Astra), white. 5 years old. Nice. Opel Kadett Sr, black. 4 years old. Loved it! Opel Manta GTE, red. 5 years old. Suffered fro...

Re: Software update: quieter exhaust

I bought a brand new MY19 SVR. After a few weeks, it went in for attention to one of the wings (minor issue, all sorted). Without me knowing, they did a software update and that was the end of the exhaust noise. It’s one of the reasons I got rid of it. Such a shame :|

Re: Boot It!!

Hi Mightyhunter,
I’ve got a Jaguar boot liner which I bought for my 400 Sport.
I live near Exeter, Devon. Any good?
I don’t think it will travel in the Post well!

Re: The last sports car?

The F Type has the longest serving platform so it’s days must be numbered....are we going to get an electric Jag sports car anytime soon? I hope so

Re: Vehicle trackers (F-Type & others!)

I have a Vodaphone tracker fitted to my Mclaren. Costs just over £200 a year. Service and reliability is very good. Apologies, I don’t have an F Type (I’ve had 2) butI still enjoy reading the threads. I’m also hoping one of you guys will give the ‘heads up’ on any new EV sports cars Jaguar may be br...

Re: No more pops and Bang

I bought a brand new SVR early last year. Lots of pops and bangs, even in ‘normal’ mode. It went back to the Devon dealer, within a week, to have a front panel ‘adjusted’. It came back minus pops and bangs. It’s one of the main reasons I moved on to McLaren.

Re: Will the F Type still be in production come end of September

Good evening all, I speak from experience. Between my wife and I, we’ve owned 2 F Types, 2 E Pace’s and 1 F Pace. All of them were bought brand new. I think all of them were great. We had an E Pace then moved to the F Pace but it was too big for my wife, Liz, so she went back to the E Pace and we’re...

Re: New UltraBlue

I had Santorini black....lovely colour but a bugger to keep clean!
Then I got an Ultra Blue SVR...just beautiful...biased opinion but it was the best colour!
Just wanted to wish you many happy hours of gorgeous motoring! And to post you a couple of picks! Stay safe! 👍

Re: F Type to Go Electric (Maybe)

I agree Santosh! IMHO, I think the F Type will remain for a few more years yet. An EV sports car will emerge in the next couple of years but at a much higher price bracket than the F Type, thereby appealing to a different buyer. Sports cars are in the blood of Jaguar - it’s part of its heritage! If ...
