Made the 600 mile round trip to Carlisle on Friday to collect my new car. I've lusted after an F Type since I first saw one back in 2014. The car is absolutely immaculate for a 5 year old car with only 2000 miles on the clock.
After searching for the "right car" for months this one popped up on Autotrader with all the options I wanted that included Meridian Surround and the beautiful Performance Seats. An unbelievably low 2k miles on and weeks short of its 5th birthday which meant it came with 2 years Jag Warranty and full breakdown cover including homestart,recovery etc.
Also had it ceramic coated which certainly makes the Firesand "pop" and should offer some protecton of the paint for a few years.
Lloyds Jaguar have been superb throughout the purchase. They were gonna put new Pirellis on all round, but told them I wamted Michelin Pilot Sport 4 s instead. I told them I'd pay the difference and was surprised that it only cost me an extra £95. 😀
Took it for a top down spin today through the twisties and it drives fantastic. Although sad to see the back of my old Z4, this is certainly a brilliant upgrade. 😀👍

Really nice car - worth the wait!

Be prepared for the face ache of not being able to stop grinning like an idiot now 😬

You’ll find a list of things you “just need to pop out and get” comes in handy.

Enjoy!

Very nice. Well done on choice. But is there a bad colour, they all look nice.

Sad? The sight of the back of a Z4 makes me positively heave! :D
Glad you've got a really good looking car now, though. From all angles ... ;)
