Hi all, thinking of buying a f type early on in 2020 been looking at a V6 400 sport

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Jaguar-F-Typ ... 1438.l9372

1 What does everyone think is the best V6 to get.
2 what should I look out for.
3 any known faults.
4 anything to stay away from

Any other help would be a great.

Thanks Wayne.

Welcome to the forum.

1. V6 400 or 380
2. Just the usual things - serviced on time, vehicle well looked after, etc.
3. early rear cross braces were prone to surface corrosion
4. anything made by VAG or BMW ;)

And you'll need to strengthen your grin muscles - they'll get a major workout on every drive! :D
Good luck with your search, take your time and you'll find what you want.

1. V8 R
2. Traffic approaching from left and right when crossing the road
3. None that I'm going to divulge on here!
4. Girls in Thailand called Bob

Have a little search of the forums Wayne, there's oodles of information on all the things you are asking!

338 Jagaur 400 sports were registered in the uk. 258 Silver & white, 80 were black, 5 convertibles and 75 black coupes not sure of breakdown between awd and rear wheel drive. Some combinations are limited to just a few cars. The engine will be the most powerful production Jaguar F type V6 because the V6 has been with drawn. The F-type has been highlighted in the press as a future classic with the 400 sport with the horrible yellow badges being the pick of the bunch. Worth a punt if you intend to keep for 20 plus years.

There was a lot more than 338 btw. I think 412 at last count. I can pull the numbers on AWD and RWD by quarter if needed.

I have the email from Jaguar stating 338 date 19th Feb 2018, says made but made they meant registered. I will let simpleR do the figures. They still rare.

As of Q3 2019 there are now 440 registered in the UK.
- 236 RWD
- 204 AWD

So about 338 on 19th Feb 2018 would of been correct at that time. Jaguar must of given you the number sold and not produced. Production ended early 2018 but they are still being found and registered today. There is 19 plate for sale on used Jaguar with 45 miles on the clock but is actually a two year old car.

Hi Simple R, thank you for the clarification. Now all we need to know is how the 204 AWD are split between black, sliver & white and then how they are split coupes and convertibles. I agree any 400 that turns up now is MY 18.5 as the production year was completed by 28th Feb 2018. Thank you for your good work.
