grand tour
Good MOT history though - up until the filming.
I thought they might have borrowed some bits off the P300 rally car, but no, even the spotlight pod looks different.

“The story began earlier this year in Mauritania. I had gone there to film a Grand Tour special, and the crew were extremely surprised when I turned up with a Jaguar F-Type convertible. Though when I say
"surprised", what I mean is "rendered helpless with mirth". They all said that in the Sahara Desert the Jag would simply disassemble itself and that I'd become a vulture's breakfast. They were wrong. I shan't spoil the story, but even though the Jag had 70,000 miles on the clock, not one thing went wrong, fell off or broke.“

Money may not buy you happiness but I’d rather cry in a Jag than a bus. (or a 458)

Just a leg pull there - I think mono-uk was referring to the fact that some people have experience issues with the locking diffs on some F-Type models and that it’s wise to change the diff oil more frequently than Jaguar recommend.
The same goes for the transmission oil - Jag say it’s fine for 10 years / 160k miles, but the box manufacturer ZF recommends the change at 80k miles.
My car has an open diff, so isn’t affected by the issue some experience, but I certainly got the transmission oil and filter/pan changed early for peace of mind.
These things come about as Jag prefer to push intervals out to make the initial years’ service costs more palatable - knowing that, by the time the car gets to 10 years old it won’t be a warranty cost for them.
