Lovely thing, pretty much unbeatable for value, and I feel when it came to thier 2 door cars Jaguar always got the styling right. This looks great in either coupe or convertible guise. Couple that with a known performer like the supercharged V8 and its just wonderful. I've seen it said the V6 supercharged is the more nimble car, due to lower mass in the nose, but in all honesty I think having an F Type at all is winning at life.
I agree. Stunning looking car. I also love the X150 and X100 that came before. Styling-wise, the F Type trumps them all though.
Jaguar made the last petrol engined V8 in May so could be a goog long term investment toothumbup

How are you getting on with your P450? Looking for one myself, albeit a convertible.

How does the car deal with the power? My old V6S could be lively and everyone knows the original V8 RWD's were a handful, but I hear the suspension in the facelifts is much better.

So RWD or AWD? AWD gives the benefit of being able to handle a 600bhp remap smile

I was surprised how much more expensive servicing a AWD car is though.

Perhaps the RWD is the sweet spot.

I absolutely love it never thought I would find anything better than the Mustang but this is in a different league 30 more horse power and half a ton lighter, it reminds me more of my old Cerbera very fast and very loud but it can bite keeps you on your toesbiggrin
