Hi all

Thought I would introduce myself.

My name is Matt and i'm from Hull, East Yorkshire. I am 31 and I currently work for the Hull Jaguar dealership as a sales executive, but have only been here a short time. However during that time I have fallen completely in love with the F-Type, in particular, the convertible variant. I have always admired the car since its launch and promised myself one. But working with them just makes me want one even more.

So, I am about to go ahead and buy one that is on stock with us. The car is a 2013 13 plate F-Type S Convertible in Black Amethyst, with 20" Carbon blade alloys, and red leather heated performance seats with 14-way electric adjustment and memory. It also has front and rear PDC and rear camera. The car has only done 26k miles and looks to have been very well looked after.

So hopefully if all goes to plan I will be able to announce my ownership very soon.

But for now its just a quick introduction and to say if anyone needs anything that I can help with, id be more than happy to do so.

Thank you for welcoming me to this amazing forum.
Matt :D

Welcome to the club, Matt! I won't bother to say you'll love the car, as you already know that. :)

Hi Matt,

Welcome. A convertible is the only way to go in my opinion, although many others disagree! You're going to love having it...

@pinballpaul.
I used to have an MG-F for 3 years in the late 90-ties. Rarely had a chance to drive with the top down.
Commute for me OK, but my wife had to drive through a tunnel filled with a traffic jam.. .. no joy..

I once took it to Munich and the Alps.. .. burned the skin from the top of my head, ended up driving
with the top up, windows down and the rear window zipped out, like a big umbrella... :(

And then the deafening noise from the wind turbulence driving over 150kmh... [ top up] ..

I relived this in the test drive with the cabrio, and instantly choose the coupe... :mrgreen:

Just read this on the US forum, from a member living in Florida :
Just as an aside, convertibles suck most of the year in central Florida,
you are like an ant under a magnifying glass in the blazing sun.
