Jaguar F-Type Forum

Been researching the F-type for a good 2 months now in preparation to purchase. Its been a bit of a minefield in some ways as there is so much to choose from, so many price points, options, colours etc etc.

Was preparing myself to shell out for a brand new 400 sport in black but have had this nagging thing in the back of my head that really prefers the look of the front "shark gill" vents that were there during the MY17 year.

So to cut a long story short I have found a number of well-specified very late model 380BHP S variants lurking around the country. Its seems the standard features of the S were pretty good in the later models which makes it easier to find a suitable one. Having chased a few cars this week and found a cracker I then went through the disappointment of having someone else buy before I got my money on the table! However another one found now thank goodness. Still waiting for a call back from the dealer on the offer but am hopeful I can finally join you guys & girls in the joy of ownership! Wish me luck!

PS - I've got a MY 17 spec & price list pdf if anyone is interested. Its helped me a ton doing my research on options & prices.

I prefer the "shark gills" too. The new look is not my taste. Fingers crossed and pls post pics!

Thanks Jagged

Well after a waste of time & many phone calls dealing with Stratstone Swansea and a complete lack of call backs from other dealers I went out for a drive with my son in the XKR and ended up at Farnell Jaguar Bolton. Didn't expect see anything much and had not even checked beforehand but low and behold a beautiful IRR beast was there waiting for us so we pretty much bought it on the spot! Picking it up later this week but here's a taster pic for now......

Now there it is............picking up later this week

That looks amazing and exactly the spec I am after albeit a used one. What spec is it? Enjoy!

Nice - congrats!

Thanks jimbobc

Its a 2017 MY S Coupe, auto, RWD. Has parking pack, back pack, design pack, black tornado alloys, flat bottomed steering wheel. The 2017 S standard spec is pretty good with nice extras like config dynamics & the config ambient lighting. Would have liked some folding mirrors but the car looked so good I just fell in love & bought it!

Looks very nice - IRR is a great colour.

Very close to mine, just different Alloys and I have black side skirts- so Im biased and will say its the best spec

Can't do much to improve that. Looks superb.
