Re: Rusted Rear Underside Bracing

Hello, some feedback on my experiences with the rear X-brace rusting issue: 1. Almost all early F-Types suffer from it, to the extent that JLR dealers now consider it 'normal' (it's not normal, just super-common) 2. Caused by very poor quality control in the manufacturing process, inadequate plating...

Re: Near 700hp now

I think you need to get a standing quarter mile figure at Santa Pod, if you can keep that power down.

Re: Cheshire meet

Re: Newby Hall this Sunday, if anyone is booked we've been allocated to area B1 which is just inside the entrance gate onto the display field on the LHS. Hope to see a few owners from the Forum. JPS

Re: Cheshire meet.

Count me in for a Cheshire meet up. I picked up my F-Type 2 weeks ago and based in Warrington! Considering SCIP @ Newby too :) CLB666 - we're booked for SCITP at Newby Hall this Sunday, should get the display plans on Friday, there are 20 F-Types booked out of 1200 or so total entrants, so should b...

Re: Cheshire meet.

Nope, not Gaydon this time but we've acquired a portable BBQ for SCITP at Newby Hall in May... and some snags (if you've visited Oz you'll understand that). May the F-orce be with you. JPS

Re: Cheshire meet - April 2023

There's another F-Type in my village - V6 340 in silver/black that appears once in a while. I don't think he's on the Forum but if I can get the guy interested we could 'looks like we've got us a convoy' over to Cheshire in April. Might be bit of a laff along the M56... Keep me posted on your though...

Re: Cheshire meet.

Whilst I'm just over the border in Derbyshire, not too far away and depending on the date proposed, could have a drive into the flatlands if there's something interesting happening. Have attended a few Sports Cars in the Parks in Yorkshire, previously with a Maserati 4200CC, and they were usually a ...

Re: Jaguar E Type coupe

Thanks Gareth for those great side by side pics. I can see the design evolution in the rear haunches and lights in particular, that resulted in the F-Type back in 2013. Oh how much I'd like one of each in my double garage, so I could choose. :lol: :?
