Honestly taken me years for this moment, but am now a very proud F-Type owner. Looking forward to learning a lot about the car and more importantly having some fun!

Welcome to the club! Lovely colour, that was the colour of the car I test drove but someone put a deposit on it while I was deciding whether I should buy it! But they're great in any colour, so I'm happy!

Oh, and get those grin muscles toned up!

Congrats ! Used to have one like that, a humble P300 then. But my lower bumper lip wasn't as scruffy as this one.. :mrgreen:

Thanks all, loving the comments! Had my first teething problem today, the rear spoiler didn’t retract automatically & got a message on the dash saying something about the spoiler function not being available. Restarting the car allowed me to manually retract it so all good. Is this a common issue?

Could be your battery just needs a good charge, if it's been siting in a showroom for a while. That's be my first task, anyway, make sure it's fully charged and take it from there.

Looks as if it may have sat in the dealers (or otherwise off the road) for 6 months given it only travelled 34 miles from an MOT in 10/21 to one a couple of weeks ago

Great look car though :)
