At least Audi has "woodline" as an option.. :twisted:

So they allow individual choices, not all shades of grey and black.. :?

I found a potential candidate. A V6S AWD convertible from 2016, for sale in Germany at a Jaguar dealer. I sent them a list of questions, if the respons is positive, I may go and have a look at it soon. It is sort of at the top of my budget, but that's not a problem if everything checks out.

I'll update the thread if there are any developements :)

Did you check with your car insurance what level of alarm you need ? If you need life tracking,
you probably need to fit an aftermarket device as the factory version is set for Germany.

Given the prices of the JLR subscription, it could be a cheaper option anyway... :roll:

Today I signed the papers, the F-Type is coming! An insurance-approved tracking system will be mounted once it is in the Netherland by the company that is doing the import for me. When all is done, the car will be delivered to my home, should be in about 3 weeks.

Pics will follow, these are the main specs:
- V6 S Convertible AWD (2016)
- Storm Grey Premium Metallic
- Exterior Design Pack with Black Pack
- Black 20 inch Tornado wheels
- Performance seats in brown premium leather

It also comes with a new MOT (APK we call it) good for 2 years, a fresh service and 2 years of Jaguar Approved warranty.

I'll post pictures once I have the car.

It is a dream come true! I sort of cannot believe it yet, it'll probably not really sink in until I actually take delivery! Gonne be 3 looong weeks...

Thanks! It is definately more "gentleman" than my bright red S2000. The seats are not really tan, it's a darker brown (brogue I think the name of the color is). But it looks great and very "chique".
