V6S - Italian Racing Red for sale

[shadow_ninja]

Hi everyone,

I’m putting my extremely pampered baby up for sale as I now have a real baby to look after and need the extra seats. I live in a London apartment - and can buy another car…but finding another parking place and time to drive this car is a problem sadly. This is likely to be the most loved/ cared for, and frankly best specced F Type you’ll find at this age/ mileage. It’s an incredible colour, specced like a beast, with new tires, brakes and a fresh service / MOT (so the new buyer doesn’t have to worry about these things for a while).

The details:

• 2015 Jaguar F Type V6S RWD
  Colour: Italian Racing Red
  40,500 miles

The Spec:

• Carbon Blade wheels and the associated wide tires (255/35 Front; 295/30 Rear P Zeros) -if you’ve been researching F Types, you know what/ how expensive these wheels are
  Uprated steel brakes (not carbon ceramic)
  Panoramic Roof
  Performance seats with contrast red stitching - 14 way adjustable
  Heated Seats
  Electrically adjustable Steering Wheel.
  Front/ Rear Heated Windscreen
  Electric heated wing mirrors
  Active Exhaust button
  Black Pack
  Adaptive headlights / blind spot monitoring
  Rear camera/ front sensor
  Fully configurable dynamic mode with sports exhaust
  Flat Bottomed steering wheel/ copper accents
  Red seat belts
  the silly light-up Jaguar sills
  Tyre Pressure Monitoring System
  Satellite Navigation
  Phone connectivity

Goes without saying - it sounds like a proper Jag. By which I mean it’s pre new OPF regulation

The condition:

Service and MOT done on 14th January 2022; Supercharger belts replaced
Brake wear 25% Front/ 10% Rear (therefore 75% and 90% left respectively)
Tires have 2500 miles on them
I will tax the vehicle for the next year (due 31 Jan)

Between Service, MOT, belt changes, Tax I have spent/ will have spent £1400 in the last 2 days to ensure the future owner has nothing to worry about for a full 12 months.

The care:

In my ownership over 5 years. In this time:

• Machine polished 2 years ago
  New back box 3 years ago when the variable exhaust valves seized up
  Never had anything other than a 2 bucket wash. Ever. I ask the Dealership to leave it dirty after a service (as an example)
  Never had a single drop of fuel (I really mean that literally) that wasn’t Shell V Power (Yes I know I am slightly off my rocker. But again - it’s been my baby for 5 years)
  Spent 2 nights outside of a covered garage in the last 5 years when I was at a location it just wasn't possible. Garaged all day.
  Never driven for work, only for pleasure - Never driven in anger

Selling as seen. This is a truly special vehicle likely to go soon. You’re unlikely to find one come up in this colour and spec. People who have these in this kind of spec tend to hold on to them because they typically have them as a second car anyway.

Offers at £37,500 and above. Prices will probably get higher closer to summer, and these cars are fast appreciating in value since Jag decided to go all-electric. A future classic.

Please send me a message on 07825652225 if interested to view. Please don't waste my time - I WILL NOT sell under the advertised price, because at anything below, looking at the price trajectory of these I'll just keep it.

Taxing the vehicle for a year isn't worth it - it's no longer transferable to a new owner.

Thanks SCM - I think you just saved me £170. Much appreciated.

Good luck with the sale, photos look fantastic!
There’s a lucky buyer out there somewhere.

Thanks Tjp. I'm just looking back at my own post and wondering if there is any way at all I can hold on to it...this is a very reluctant sale.

Beautiful. That’s how an F-Type should be looked after

Put it on the Facebook UK F-Type Owners Group. Tell any tyre kicker/smart arses to Eff-Off. It will get snapped up.

Not that you’ll need it but GLWS

Thats a nice example, there is away you can keep it put the child seat in the passenger seat turn off the airbag and tell the misses to get the bus. Good luck.

£37.500 is a bit pricy by looking at others on autotrader similar age and mileage , the colour is a bit rare though , and yours is a private sale . You might find it hard to shift maybe and maybe not as you are in London, plenty toffs down their with pockets of money , in the past I have only ever managed to sell a mercy on autotrader and that was for 8 grand , all I got for it at that time , the other cars I tried to sell were way over double that and in the end I had to trade them in , this is the problem not many have bags of cash to just go out and buy most cars bought are on pcp or hp and bought via some dealer be that backstreet or main giving at least some come back if things go wrong , just my 2 cents worth

Presume the underneath is nice and rust free as this is the area that most concerns f type prospective owners ?
