I am looking for an F-Type V8 R and I have narrowed it down to these 2 options but I can't decide which is better looking.

The grey pre-facelift design or the newer blue facelift version.

They both look great - you'll have to make your own mind up which you like more! Sorry. :D

There must be other factors to consider such as options, MY, mileage, service record, tires, overall condition and price.
Personally, I think the grey will age better than the blue, which I think is a "couleur du jour" but that is just my personal opinion.
It will be YOUR car!!

The Grey looks stunning, but I would say that, but then... I also almost bought a Blue one...

Grey one is sold and was car number 57941.
The blue one has encoded (hidden) VRN on sellers website, autotrader, etc so unable to find vehicle info on it. Unsure why some garages do this.

The Grey one with the original shark face looks better. It is sculpted, the blue one isn't.

Secondly (and a big one for me) - The blue one has black wheels but chrome trim which doesn't fit. Blue paint with black wheels looks best with the Black exterior pack which the blue one doesn't have.

I like the blue colour but prefer the older shape but that's because I own a older shape V6S. Either way both great cars and not a bad dilemma to have.

Series I will always be the most handsome model and the most sought after model in years to come because of its purity.

The vent bars on the second car are very Porsche 'esq.
