Hey all, joined the forum exactly a year ago when I started searching for my next car (I knew it had to be an F-Type)... and now I finally found it! Turns out it was the same car that I missed out on by just a few hours last year, but it found its way back on the market this year, and it was pure chance that I was browsing Autotrader that day :shock:

Been enjoying it for almost 2 months now and managed to get some drives in the last of the summer sun. Made sure to take a bunch of pictures too :D

Also, many thanks to simpleR and the forum members for helping me out with car history lookups. Saved me from pulling the trigger on a somewhat questionable example earlier in the year.

Looks lovely, black pack on the red makes it look so much better than chrome imo 👍

Agreed, I think it compliments the pano roof quite nicely too 👀

Cheers! Yep, I can't keep my eyes off it. Everytime I look back at it after parking up, it makes me grin & laugh. Got a bunch of compliments already from all sorts of people too.

I took it to my local Sainsburys on the 2nd day of ownership, and when I looked back before entering the store, I saw a chap having his picture taken next to it! 😆

Thank you, much appreciated 😁 The location is Denbie's Vineyard in Dorking.

It's very close to the west side of the Surrey Hills, and entrance/parking is free. Loads of parking available, although I took these photos on a parking space that is on top of a small hill (no issues with scraping on approach or exit).
