Proud new F-type owner here; I've had my 400 sport for about 3 weeks now after obsessing over f types since 2014 on autotrader. Loving every second of it. My commute to work is 5 minutes but I always somehow go on a 45 minute drive on the way home. Mine is a RWD coupe as below. I have named it Black Mamba for the purposes of incontrol remote.
Interestingly, I saw five F types in total yesterday out and about. found it really odd to see so many in one day, but everyone seems to appreciate each other on the roads and lots of friendly waves. I noticed how no two were the same - silver 380 coupe, silver 380 convertible, red 550, white 340 convertible, and a black 340!
Paintwork was appalling when i test drove it, marginally better on collection but I asked them to stay away from it as I had decided to take it in to Midlands Car Care for a full detail. The swirl marks were really bad on the bonnet in particular, and the body was dull, cloudy and kind of grey in areas. I left it with Russ @ MCC for 3 days and collected a few days ago. Whilst it has rained and I've taken it for a couple of drives since, I thought I'd take some snaps in the sun this afternoon and show off the paint a bit too. I have some before/after closeups on my other phone which I will post later, for anyone in the midlands thinking about taking it in to them. They did a really good job. I had a 2-stage polish all over and Gyeon duraflex coating, with other gyeon products on the matt areas (wheels, sills, splitter, bonnet louvres) and gyeon on the interior and glass. 10 minutes late for work this morning as i stood on my drive playing with the water droplets on my roof.
Anyway here are some snaps!
Good times.
