My new F type!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Paid the deposit! So I bought one, after much deliberation and many many viewings, decided not to go for an older V8, instead, a 2017 V6s British Design Edition AWD with just 20k on the clock. One female owner from new, the car is absolutely mint, inside and out, like new! Finished in ultra blue, the colour, age, spec and mileage really sold it. Not many of these in convertible form and with the extras on the BDE I am a happy customer.

I am due to collect the car in a few weeks! Here is a link to the BDE spec which was a £8,000 mark up on the original V6S https://media.jaguar.com/news/2016/01/j ... gn-edition

Many thanks to simpleR for doing some checks on the car - which will be resolved by the dealer.

Yeah, I echo what Steve said - you must be itching to get into the driver’s seat!
And the BDE has the great looking original front end too - excellent choice 😎

Thanks! Yes I am really delighted. I was really convinced that the V8 was the only way, but you know what? The spec, colour and the car was actually more important than a slighter better engine note and a bit more 0-60 time.

So, yes, I don't think I will regret buying the V6S. More than enough power on our roads, I am not a racing driver and it is a summer fun toy only.

The paint colour - IMO is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just one lady owner. 20 k on the clock. The interior looks like no-one has very sat in it!
