Hi all,

Recently bought my dream car, a 2014 V6 S convertible. My first ever F-Type and first ever Jaguar, having traded up from a E89 BMW Z4 MSport (great car, but can’t match the theatre of the jag).

Wasn’t too worried about the exterior colour, but really wanted a cream interior. Ended up finding an example with cream leather + performance seats, with Ultimate Black exterior and carbon blade alloys. Absolutely love how it looks…and sounds!

Look forward to taking part in the forums.

Matt

Sounds great - will be interested in the pics. Do like the light interiors against dark exterior.

Welcome

I’m a new MY14 V6S owner too - coupe, Santorini Black with black interior and pan roof. Like you it’s my ‘dream’ car and also like you love the looks and theatre. Interestingly a Z4 was one of the options I had, along with 911, Cayman etc - don’t regret my eventual choice.

Hope to catch you in here and maybe at the meets.

Happy driving - Peter

Hi and welcome.

Car number 02004. Very nice, like the black and white contrast. Rare main dealer service history as well. Is that a red starter button and surround someone has fitted or just the sun making the bronze look different?

I would get the rear diff oil changed at your next service as that has not been recorded on the service history and is sub £100.

Yes white seats always look well with dark exterior - lovely!

Welcome!
That’s a great looking car - and we’ll spec’d too with the heated flat bottom wheel and front screen.
The performance seats are excellent, but also very comfortable on long journeys.
Nice find 😎
