Hi all, I just got my big cat on Wednesday, a Black Berry MY16 coupe V8 with AWD.
Lots of toys, but lots of miles already on her.

Traded up from a BMW 435i and added some savings etc.

Only done 100 miles from delivery and already in love, when can I go on a road trip?!

Pics to follow…

BlueBottle,

Every trip out in a F-Type is a road trip - enjoy!

I’m around the Hampshire/Berkshire border.

I’m certainly using it as my current daily… :D

So, apparently I’m not asleep and having a nightmare, this has actually just happened…

Washing the cars, just started to jet wash the road grime off the Jag prior to snow foaming and a huge flake of paint comes off, apparently back to the primer layer? I don’t think this is bare metal… any thoughts? For reference I was using an old Karcher washer which is definitely for home use, just did my 2012 Range Rover with it no problems…

Congratulations on your new acquisition & sorry to see this. I’d be taking straight back, to where ever it came from, for repair.

It was an independent dealer, would they really be liable?

Hi and welcome.

Is that filler? I would be taking it back for sure!
Happy to look at history (if you provide a reg).
