hi everyone. just joined the forum. i turned 60 last week so i decided to treat myself to an F type. i bought a v6s. not sure what the colour is called but it is very dark grey. it almost looks black. it has a grey leather interior and sports seat options. that’s about all i know about it!
i love the noise it makes!! i am a biker and it puts smile on my face every time i drive it.

Happy birthday and welcome to the forum from another biker, well ex-biker!

Think it’s probably Carpathian Grey, I looked at one that colour and it’s great! Aren’t they all?

Photos would be nice

enjoy, it's as much fun as a bike for us of a certain age.

A great 60th present. Congratulations from another biker (K1300S)

thanks guys . i would love to post pictures but don’t appear to be authorised yet?

yes i am a lifelong biker and ex racer, but i had a pretty serious crash on the road last september ( not my fault) and i am very lucky to still be around. still into bikes as that is what i am into for a business, but this car is purely for fun and generally a lot safer than biking on today’s busy roads.

i will post pics as soon as i can

Happy birthday! It has always reminded me of bikes I used to ride 30+ years ago. The exhaust brings out the childish side every time, just like my Z1R did back in the day. Much more comfortable and usable though

like wise, blackbird and very nasty RTA several years ago, F Type goes a long way to recovery and enjoyment of driving, especially the rag tops as close to fast bike as you can get.

Hi and welcome and happy birthday!

But better as you don't have to wear full leathers and skid lid
