Looking for a V8 Roadster

For Sale & Wanted Forum

Hi all, first post on the forum as I am currently looking to purchase a V8 Roadster.

Any colour considered other than green and the less miles the better, backed up, of course, with a correct service schedule.
The must haves are
Performance seats
Heated seats
Electric Folding Door Mirrors
Keyless Start

With my budget I am realistically looking at an S but this can increase if an R is offered at the right price. I have no px and cleared funds in place for immediate bank transfer, I’m based in Leicestershire but can travel anywhere in the UK to view.

If anyone has anything available or knows of a nice V8 for sale that’s not on Autotrader or Jaguar approved used, please let me know.

Thanks

Mark

Love affair with the car ended badly, ended up returning it and getting a refund.

fault codes, body control module, blind spot and car configeration file.
subframe issue that i asked to be checked out before i purchased that obviously had not on my inspection 2 weeks after buying.
other concerns that i cannot really explain, like it being a 2014 registered car, but the sva/iva was in 2016.
strangest thing of all was the road tax, this was a good thing as the DVLA requested £255 for a year, but it just all did not add up in the end.
First owner was jag SVO and i my thourghts are i maybe purchased one of the initial development cars, it was a total beauty tbh and i fell in love but just to many issues for a car with 13k on the clock for me, who knows maybe i have lost a unique car..

Ah... I briefly looked at the history but after you had purchased it. Good luck with the next search.

Such a shame, you must be gutted, however I think it's a blessing in disguise.

Looks liked it has been serviced, however it's first service doesn't show up on the system until Jan 26th 2017 @ 9762 miles which is high.

It appears that anything with Copart or Special Vehicle Operations in the history seems to be a bag of crap.

There'll be another along in due course, and steer clear of CCB's as they are hellish expensive at service time and not really required even for track use.

Funny thing is...I started to look over V8's for sale just to see what's on the market....Would you believe it, i found our first F type up for sale (one that I rejected)...

Spot on service history because I am pretty anal about that stuff.
I have the original build sheet and lots of data on this car as I specced it personally.

This is Pre-reg having Gtechnic ceramic coat applied.
