I’ve finally gone and done it and picked up my 3.0 V6 Checkered Flag today. One of the benefits of buying so far away from home is the long drive after picking up. A great 1.5 hours spent getting to know her.
Thanks so much to Barretts Jaguar in Canterbury - absolute top notch service!

Hi AsifG - yes, that’s the one. I would apologise but I think you’ll know that I don’t really mean it - way too happy to have it and not enough excuses to drive it :o)

The first one I test drove was sold while I was debating with myself and the sales guy whether I wanted to pay that much for it! But I ended up with a much better one, so it's often for the best!

It's a lovely car and wish you the very best with it!

SimpleR also did a history check for me on here in case you're interested (it's got good history!)

I’m was lucky enough to get background checks on all of the cars I was looking at as my cousin works for Jaguar dealer in Norwich. This one was pretty good. First year was owned by a Jaguar lease company so did about 14k but then bought by the previous owner and only did 6k in 3.5 years. It’s in very nice condition but I’ve got it booked in for a deep clean and ceramic protection. Just deciding whether to add an aftermarket immobiliser or pay for the Jaguar service.

My insurance company stipulated that I must have the Jaguar Secure activated at all times, so ended up paying for that service to be extended.
