So after a bit of a gap in ownership since my v6s convertible I’m back on the hunt again for an f type
I’ve set my heart on a v8 awd coupe but there doesn’t seem to be anything coming up in my budget that isn’t massive miles or less than optimal spec

I’m after 5.0 v8 w awd
Must have pan roof and performance memory seats
Would like heated seats and flat bottom steering wheel
Not bothered by carbon brakes or heated steering wheels
Budget for probably only 2015/2016 cars

No real colour preferences but white would be least favourite as I like polishing something to look wow

Anything coming up please give me a shout

Ideally as close to £40k as possible
But there is always a little latitude

There are a few on autotrader at 42k. I am sure you could negotiate them down to your budget?

There’s a grey one in Leeds but he’s absolutely welded on price and it’s a bit high for the mileage and the fact it needs a major belt service
A white one in Sheffield (I think) with a wrapped roof and ceramic that might need replacement. Miles also high as is price
An all black one in Lincoln but that needs something to lift it as it just looks not great (rubbish description but you know when I say not right)
A grey one in Cirencester but no pan roof

And I think that’s it!
I keep checking but there doesn’t seem to be anything coming up for me to even miss 😂

Ah ok. I wrongly assumed all v8 r cars came with pan roof and performance memory seats?

Pan can be retrofitted but it’s expensive and not without risk of it going wrong
